Objective: SWBAT........

•This week, students conclude Number Worlds, Level E, Number Sense, by exploring
fractions and their relationships. Finding equivalent fractions and comparing fractions will 
be done with models.

• Today.......Students can use comparison symbols to record the result of comparing two fractions

Standard:

3.NF.1 Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.
3.NF.3b Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions, e.g., 1/2 = 2/4, 4/6 = 2/3. Explain why the fractions are equivalent, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.3.NF.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.

Vocabulary:

• Fractions
• Denominator
• Numerator
• Equivalent
• Unit Fraction
