Today’s Goals Honor the challenge in this work and set the tone for teachers as
learners
Build conceptual knowledge of fractions, and acknowledge most of us come with procedural
Become proficient with the work in Investigation 1
Know how and where to highlight the standards for students.
![Page 3: Today’s Goals](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164d4550346895dd707b5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts
differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size.
Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
Let’s Start with some MATH!

What do the Common Core State Standards have to say about HOW students demonstrate their understanding of fractions?
On your standards, highlight the phrase “using (a) visual fraction model(s)” everywhere you see it.

2.G.3. Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc., and describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths.
RECOGNIZE THAT EQUAL SHARES OF IDENTICAL WHOLES NEED NOT HAVE THE SAME SHAPE.
“If they don’t look the same, they aren’t equal”

Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers.
4.NF.3. a. Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole.
b. Decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way, recording each decomposition by an equation. Justify decompositions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model. Examples: 3/8 = 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 ; 3/8 = 1/8 + 2/8 ; 2 1/8 = 1 + 1 + 1/8 = 8/8 + 8/8 + 1/8.

Students must find common denominators to add fractions.
Students in 4th grade only add and subtract with common denominators.
True or False

Students develop understanding of fraction equivalence and operations with fractions. They recognize that two different fractions can be equal (e.g., 15/9 = 5/3), and they develop methods for generating and recognizing equivalent fractions. Students extend previous understandings about how fractions are built from unit fractions, composing fractions from unit fractions, decomposing fractions into unit fractions, and using the meaning of fractions and the meaning of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number.
