Standards Covered
- M.EE.6.NS.1 - Compare the relationships between two unit fractions.
- EE.7.NS.1. Add fractions with like denominators (halves, thirds, fourths, and tenths) with sums less than or equal to one.
- EE.8.NS.1. Subtract fractions with like denominators (halves, thirds, fourths, and tenths) with minuends less than or equal to one.
A fraction is a number that represents part of a whole or part of a group. Students need many opportunities to use concrete models to develop familiarity and understanding of fractions. Students need to relate dividing a shape into equal parts and represent this relationship on a number line, where the equal parts are between two whole numbers.
With modeling of real shapes and objects, students should experience opportunities to:
Fractions are ratios that show part-to-whole. The fraction ¼ means that one part is selected from a whole of 4 parts. Understanding fractions builds into skills for ratios and percents.
With modeling of real shapes and objects, students should experience opportunities to:
- Recognize and match equivalent fractional parts.
- Compare fractional parts to determine which is greater, less than or equal.
- Add and subtract fractional parts to make a new fraction.

M.EE.6.NS.1 - Compare the relationships between two unit fractions.
Learning Goal:
• Level 2-3 – I will compare two unit fractions.
• Level 1 – I will count fractional objects.
Essential Questions:
• How can I represent these fractions?
• What is the relationship between the two fractions?
• Are they equivalent?
• Which fraction is larger/smaller?
Vocabulary:
• numerator - the top number in a fraction, which shows the number of parts of the whole taken.
• denominator - the bottom number in a fraction, which shows the number of parts the whole has been divided into.
• equal - alike in size, value or amount to something else.
• fraction - a representation of a division of a number; a part of a whole.
• half - either of two equal parts of something.
• quarter - one of four equal parts into which something is divided.
• whole number - a positive integer or zero. 1, 15, 30 and 894 are examples.

Learning Intention: Students will identify that a unit fraction is one part of a whole; indicate that the more parts a whole is divided into, the smaller the parts will be.
Success Criteria: Students will be successful when they can independently explain numerator, explain denominator, compare fractions using models, and decompose a fraction into a sum of unit fractions with the same denominator.

Fractions are important because they tell you what portion of a whole you need, have, or want.
Fractions are used in baking to tell how much of an ingredient to use.
Fractions are used in telling time; each minute is a fraction of the hour.
Money is another place fractions are used. For example, a quarter is one fourth of a dollar (1/4). A dime is one-tenth, represented by 1/10. We could continue by talking about pennies and nickels.

Strategy
To add fractions there are Two Simple Steps:
Step 1: Make sure the bottom numbers (the denominators) are the same.
Step 2: Add the top numbers (the numerators), put that answer over the denominator.
