Comparing Fractions to Make One Whole - 1 views

    • Andrew Todd
       
      CCSS.Math.Content.3.NF.A.3d Compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

      This activity would be beneficial for ELL students because they could discuss with classmates why the two different parts (represented by the cards) makes one whole. It would give ELL students opportunity to construct own meaning for concepts represented. It could be extended by adding unline denominators, which would require students to simplify or factor to find the answer.

    Students play a card game with fractions. Every card has a fraction on it. The game begins with one card turned over and apart from the pile. Player 1 draws the card that is NOW on top of the pile. If the two cards make one whole, the student takes the pile. If it does not make one whole, place Player 1's card on top of the first card drawn. Player 2 now draws a card to see if it makes 1 whole with Player 1's card.

    If you have a child who is balking at fractions, a game of Common Denominator War can help! Finding the least common denominator (LCD) of two fractions is one of the basic skills needed to work with fractions. You can find the common denominator of two fractions by finding the smallest number that is a multiple of both of them (lowest common multiple). This activity will give children plenty of practice in figuring out the lowest common multiple of two numbers.

      Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l).1 Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem.2

      Activity is great to add real world context to ELL and low English speaking students. Provides a real world context for students to start thinking about measurement in. Brings items from the household into the classroom. Extend the activity by introducing the concept of adding two different measurements (1/4 + 3/4) together to make one whole.

      CCSS.Math.Content.4.MD.A.2 Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale

    Use measurement cups and ingrediants to help students understand concepts of measurement.
