LESSON 4 Fraction Sentences

Mr. Moreno gave his class this challenge: Show the unit whole using pieces of three different colors. Then write a number sentence for your figure. For this lesson, the red circle is the unit whole.

David and Brandon work together. Here is their figure.

  1. Show the unit whole a different way using pieces of three different colors. Write a number sentence for your figure.
  2. Lin shows of the red circle using two colors. First she shows with a pink piece. Then she trades pieces until she has the figure she wants.

    She represents her figure with this number sentence: = + + + .
    1. Write another number sentence for Lin's figure.
    2. Show a different way using two colors. Write a number sentence for your figure.
