  1. Fractions I:Part 2 of 2 Teacher’s Quality Grant

  2. Benchmark • MA.3.A.2.1 Represent fractions, including fractions greater than one, using area, set, and linear models. • MA.3A.2.2 Describe how the size of the fractional part is related to the number of equal sized pieces in the whole. • MA.3A.2.3 Compare and order fractions, including fractions greater than 1, using models and strategies.

  3. Overview This session explores the following concepts: • The use of the “area” concept to compare fractions • The use of the “area” concept to order fractions • The significance of the numerator and denominator when comparing fractions • The significance of the numerator and denominator when ordering fractions

  4. Comparing Fractions • Consider the following fractions: • Which one is bigger? ? 4 16 1 2

  5. Comparing Fractions (cont.) 16 16 1 =

  6. Comparing Fractions (cont.) = = 1 4 4 16

  7. Comparing Fractions (cont.) = = 1 2 8 16

  8. Comparing Fractions (cont.) • Compare the area of the figures below • Which one is bigger?

  9. Comparing Fractions (cont.) • This reads: One half is greater then four sixteenths > 4 16 1 2

  10. Fractions Facts • For fractions that have the same numerator the following is true: • The bigger the denominator gets, the smaller the fraction gets • Having 2 fractions with the same numerator, the one with the smallest denominator is the biggest one

  11. Comparing Fractions (cont.) > > 1 7 3 9 5 5 7 11 1 5 3 7 5 3 7 4 > >

  12. Ordering Fractions (cont.) 4 4 1 =

  13. Ordering Fractions (cont.) = 1 4

  14. Ordering Fractions (cont.) = 2 4

  15. Ordering Fractions (cont.) = 3 4

  16. Ordering Fractions (cont.) • Order the fractions below from smallest to largest by looking at the size of the area they represent 1 4 2 4 3 4

  17. Ordering Fractions (cont.) • The order of the fractions is as follows: 2 4 1 4 3 4 < <

  18. Fractions Facts • For fractions that have the same denominator the following is true: • The bigger the numerator gets, the bigger the fraction gets • Having 2 fractions with the same denominator, the one with the smallest numerator is the smallest one
