TIMS Bit

Have the class count together. Extend the diagrams as necessary.

Before students count using improper fractions, ask them to explain how they will know when to stop.

Students should see that 20/4 will be equivalent to 5 because
5 × 1/4 = 20/4.

M. Fraction Skip Counting

1. Skip count by fourths to 5. Begin with the numbers below these rectangles.

2. Skip count by fourths to 5. Begin with the numbers below these rectangles. How will you know when you have reached 5?
