Comparing Fractions Using 1/2

• Assign the Homework section in the Student Guide. Assign Questions 1–3 after Part 1 and Questions 4–5 after Part 2.
• Ask students to play Fraction Order from the Student Activity Book at home with a family member. Students will need to take home a prepared set of fraction cards, game board, and rules.
• Assign Home Practice Parts 5 and 6. Parts 5 and 6 provide practice with naming and representing fractions using rectangle area models and fraction strips. Students will need the Writing Numbers in Words page in the Student Guide Reference section.

• Assign DPP items CC–FF. In Bit CC, students make connections among representations of fractions. In Challenge DD, students solve fraction puzzles while identifying the unit whole when given a fractional part of a whole. Bit EE and Task FF provide practice with comparing and sorting fractions using 1/2 as a benchmark.

Math Facts. Remind students to take home their Triangle Flash Cards to study the division facts for the 9s.
