CCSS and Gaps
  What are your gaps in curriculum?
1. Review CCSS for Fractions
2. Think about your resources
3. Think about your teaching
  – Highlight anything your resources
    covers well in YELLOW.
  – Highlight any part of the standard you
    would like more clarification on in
    BLUE.
Learning Target

Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to
  add and subtract fractions.
                   5.NF.1, 5.NF.2


Apply and extend previous understandings
  of multiplication and division to multiply
  and divide fractions.
        5.NF.3, 5.NF.4, 5.NF.5, 5.NF.6, 5.NF.7
Fraction Word Problem
40 students joined the soccer club.
  5/8 of the students were boys.
  How many girls joined the soccer
  club?
      Draw a picture and solve it.
1. 2 min. working problem on own

Problem Solving with
           Bar Diagrams
1. Understand: Identify what is known and what is
   unknown. Draw the bar diagram to promote
   comprehension and demonstrates
   understanding. (Situation vs. Solution Equation)

2. Plan: Decide how you will solve the problem
   (find the unknown). Analyze the bar diagram to
   find a solution plan.

3. Solve: Execute the plan. Use the bar diagram to
   solve.

4. Evaluate: Assess reasonableness using
   estimation or substitution. Substitute the
   solution for the unknown in the bar diagram.

Definition Of Fractions
• Identify the whole
• Make d equal parts
• Write 1/d to show one of the equal
  parts
• If you have d of 1/d, then you have the
  whole
• If you have n of 1/d, then you have n/d
• n and d are whole numbers
• d does not equal 0

Talking Through A Number Line
1. Understand the problem.

2. Think about which representation you
   are going to use.

3. Describe your thinking process while
   constructing the number line.

4. Sum up the solution that proved your
   answer.

Model Example: 3/10 & 6/8
Fraction On A Number Line
Using a number line, compare 5/6 and
  3/8 and tell which one is greater .
  Have a partner listen to you as you
  construct the fractions and find the
  answer.
Fractions

What conceptual understanding do students need?

   1.   Begin with simple contextual tasks.
   2.   Connect the meaning of fraction computation with
        whole number computation.
   3.   Let estimation and informal methods play a big role in
        the development of strategies.
   4.   Explore each of the operations using models.

Multiply a fraction by a whole number
• Work as a group
• Use Fraction strips to show answers
     4 x 1/3
     ¼ x 12
• What connection can you make to
  multiplication? What other
  representations can you use? Can
  you use a number line?
Multiple a Fraction by a Whole
           Number
      4 x 1/3 (4 groups of 1/3) = 4/3 = 1 1/3

Fraction as Division
             (a/b = a ÷ b)
• I can explain that fractions (a/b) can be
  represented as a division of the numerator
  by the denominator (a ÷ b) can be
  represented by the fraction a/b.
• I can solve word problems involving the
  division of whole numbers and interpret the
  quotient- which could be a whole number,
  mixed number, or fraction – in the context of
  the problem.
• I can explain or illustrate my solution
  strategy using visual fraction models or
  equations that represent the problem.

Editor's Notes

  1. Activity 15.8Slicing SquaresGive students a worksheet with four squares in a row, each approximately 3 cm on a side. Have them shade in the same fraction in each square using vertical dividing line. You can use the context of a garden or farm. For example, slice each square in fourths and shade three-fourths as in Figure 15.20. Next, tell students to slice each square into equal-sized horizontal slices. Each square must be partitioned differently, using from one to eight slices. For each sliced square, they record an equations showing the equivalent fractions. Have them examine their equations and drawings to look for any patterns. You can repeat this with four more squares and different fractions.What product tells how many parts are shaded?What product tells how many parts in the whole?Notice that the same factor is used for both part and whole
  2. Give students an equation expressing an equivalence between two fraction but with one of the numbers missing and ask them to draw a picture to solve. Here are four different examples:5/3 = _/62/3 = 6/_8/12 = _/39/12 = 3/_The missing number can be either a numerator or a denominator. Furthermore, the missing number can either be larger or smaller that the corresponding part of the equivalent fraction. (All four possibilities are represented in the examples.) The examples shown involve simple whole-number multiples between equivalent fractions. Next, consider pairs such as 6/8 = _/12 or 9/12 = 6/_. In these equivalences, one denominator or numerator is not a whole number multiple of the other.
