Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering. (4.NF.A.1, 4.NF.A.2)

Standards for Mathematical Practice

MP2.
Reason quantitatively.
MP6.
Attend to precision.

Students label number lines to show fractions. They conclude the lesson by representing both proper and improper fractions as parts of rectangles and as points on number lines.

Content in this Lesson

  • Representing fractions using rectangles and number lines [E1].
  • Locating fractions on number lines [E1].
  • Using words and numbers to name fractions [E2].
  • Naming and representing fractions greater than one as mixed numbers and improper fractions with number lines and rectangles [E5].
  • Making connections between fractions represented using rectangles and fractions on number lines [E7].
