Fractions

Introduction to Fractions

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. 

Essential Questions: 
- How can I represent these fractions?
- What is the relationship between the two fractions? 



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.

Adding and Subtracting Fractions With Like Denominators

Learning Intention:  Students will add and subtract fractions with common denominators. 

Success Criteria:  Students will be successful when they can independently add or subtract fractions with denominators of 10 and 100. 

Essential Questions: 
- What is the sum of 
two fractions?
- Which part of the fractions 
do I add?
- Why do I not add the 
denominators? 

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.
