Lesson 1

Fraction Strips

Est. Class Sessions: 1–2

Homework and Practice

  • Assign the Student Guide Homework section.
  • Assign Parts 1 and 2 of the Home Practice. Part 2 provides a review of multiplying by zero and one and finding patterns in multiples.
  • Assign DPP items A–B.

Math Facts. DPP Bit A provides an opportunity for students to use Triangle Flash Cards to assess their fluency with the division facts for the 9s. Task B provides practice with fact families for the 9s.

Home Practice Part 1 reminds students to practice their multiplication facts for the 9s using their Triangle Flash Cards.

Use Questions 1–7 of the Homework section in the Student Guide to assess and document students' abilities to represent fractions using area models [E1], name fractions using numbers [E2], find equivalent fractions [E8], and compare and order fractions [E9]. Use this information to guide the pace and support during the rest of this unit.

Targeted Practice for the skills and concepts in E1 and E2 is provided in Lesson 7 and for E8 and E9 in Lesson 10.

The game Show Me in Lesson 2 can provide targeted practice with representing [E1] and naming [E2] fractions.

The Workshop in Lesson 7 also provides targeted practice.
