Describe how you would shade the other model to show a fraction equivalent to 3/4.
I would shade the model to match the shaded area of the first model. I notice if you cut the fourths in half you would get eighths so for every fourth the equivalent is 2 eighths. I would need to shade 6 pieces in because 6/8 = 3/4
Which statements about the "Lengths of Insects" line plot are true? Choose ALL the correct answers.
a. Exactly 3 insects have lengths of 6 inches
b. The lengths of the longest insects are 7 inches
c. No insects have lengths of 7 1/4 inches
d. All of the insects have lengths of at least 6 1/2 inches
e. Seventeen insects have lengths greater than 6 1/4
b, c, e
Write a comparison using 2 fractions with same denominators AND explain how you know the comparison is true.
ex: 5/8 > 3/8
Both fractions have the same size pieces so we can just compare the numerators which tell me how many pieces are shaded. 5 is greater than 3 so 5/8 is greater than 3/8
Write a comparison using 2 fractions with same numerators AND explain how you know the comparison is true.
ex: 2/8 < 2/4
Both fractions have the same amount of pieces shaded in, but I know eighths are smaller than fourths so 2/8 is less than 2/4
Find and explain which fraction on the number line is equivalent to 2/3
4/6 - I would draw another number line underneath the sixths line and line up the 0 and 1, then I would split it into 3 equal parts and label the thirds. I would see that 4/6 lines up with 2/3
James measures three more insects. Their measurements are 6 1/4 inches, 7 inches, and 7 1/4 inches. How can James change the line plot so that it correctly shows the three new measurements?
James could add an X above 6 1/4 inches and add an X above 7 inches. Then he could extend the line plot and write 7 1/4 inches and add an X above it.
