1/4 + 2/4 =
3/4
100
2/3 - 1/3 =
1/3
100
Use a visual and numbers to compare these fractions: 1/4 < or > 4/8
equation: 1/4 x 2/2 = 2/8 answer: 1/4 (2/8) < 4/8
100
Find an equivalent fraction using an equation: 2/3
2/3 x 2/2 = 4/6
100
Show your work using a number line: 1/3 x 2 =
Draw the number line! 1/3 x 2 = 2/3
200
2/4 + 3/4 =
5/4 = 1 1/4
200
1 2/3 - 1 1/3 =
1/3
200
Use a visual and numbers to compare these fractions: 1/3 < or > 3/9
equation: 1/3 x 3/3 = 3/9 answer: 1/3 (3/9) = 3/9
200
Find and equivalent fraction using egg carton method: 3/4 = ?/12
Draw the egg carton! 3/4 = 9/12
200
Show your work using visuals: 1/4 x 3 =
Draw the visuals! 1/4 x 3 = 3/4
300
1/5 + 3/5 =
4/5
300
4 1/3 - 2 2/3 =
First the students must use the Circle Method to make 1/3 greater than 2/3. You cannot subtract 1 -2! The new fractions are: 3 4/3 - 2 2/3 = 1 2/3
300
Use a visual and numbers to compare these fractions: 3/14 < or > 5/7
equation: 5/7 x 2/2 = 10/14 answer: 3/14 < 5/7 (10/14)
300
Use a bar (bars are drawn on top of the other bar!) to find an equivalent fraction: 1/4
Draw the two bars! 1/4 = 2/8
300
Show your work using an equation. simplify the fraction. 1/6 x 3 =
1 x 3 = 3 so 1/6 x 3 = 3/6 simplify: 3/6 / 3/3 = 1/3 answer: 1/6 x 3 = 1/3
400
1/3 + 2/9 =
First the student must find a common denominator. 1/3 x 3/3 = 3/9 now use 3/9 + 2/9 Answer: 5/9 (cannot be simplified)
400
5 2/6 - 2 4/6 =
First the students must use the Circle Method to make 2/6 greater than 4/6. You cannot subtract 2-4! The new fractions are: 4 8/6 - 2 4/6 = 2 4/6 = simplified to 2 2/3
400
Use a visual and numbers to compare these fractions: 1/4 < or > 7/9
equations: 1/4 x 9/9 = 9/36 and 7/9 x 4/4 = 28/36 answer: 1/4 (9/36) < 7/9 (28/36)
400
Use an equation to find 2 equivalent fractions that are smaller than this fraction: 24/36
24/36 / 4/4 = 6/9 6/9 / 3/3 = 2/3 answer: 24/36 = 6/9 = 2/3
400
Show your work using an equation and the number line. simplify the fraction. 1/8 x 6 =
Draw the number line! equation: 1 x 6 = 6 so 1/8 x 6 = 6/8 simplify: 6/8 / 2/2 = 3/4 answer: 1/8 x 6 = 3/4
500
3 1/2 + 1 1/4 =
Must convert the 3 1/2 to 3 2/4 then add to get the answer of: 4 3/4
500
2 1/7 - 1 3/7 =
First the students must use the Circle Method to make 1/7 greater than 3/7. You cannot subtract 1 - 3! The new fractions are: 1 8/7 - 1 3/7 = 5/7
500
Use a visual and numbers to compare these fractions: 4/6 < or > 2/4
equations: 4/6 x 4/4 = 16/24 and 2/4 x 6/6 = 12/24 answer: 4/6 (16/24) > 2/4 (12/24)
500
Use an equation to find 2 equivalent fractions that are smaller than this fraction: 15/40
15/40 / 5/5 = 3/9 3/9 / 3/3 =1/3 answer: 15/40 = 3/9 = 1/3
500
Show your work using an equation. simplify the fraction. 3/5 x 4 =
equation: 3x4=12 so 3/5 x 4 = 12/5 simplify: 12/5 = 2 2/5 answer: 3/5 x 4 = 2 2/5
