rompting questions:
P
What other models or ideas can you use?
Can you draw ⅗ as sharing something? What things have you had to share equally?
How did we represent decimals? Would any of those models work?
If you had objects, how could you organize them to show ⅗?
Which benchmark fractions is it bigger than? Smaller than?
Consolidation C
hart paper to be displayed - add in names to strategies.
How can we represent fractions?
Split into sections: as part of a whole, as part of a set, as part of measurement / number
ssessment
A bservation checklist - look for part of set & part of area.
O
Consideratio Use checklist - names in alphabetical order.

(How do I
know the
Learning
Goals have
been met?)
How do fractions work on a number line? - I can show what different
fractions look like on a
number line
uccess Criteria:How will you know if your studentshave achieved your goals
S
-Students understand how to represent fractions on a number line
-Students understand that each fraction jump needs to be equally spaced.
-Students are able to demonstrate where a certain fraction belongs on a number line

2:10-2:25:Demonstrating fractions on a number line (between 0 and1)
● Discuss “rules”:
○ Spaces need to be equal between jumps
○ Start with an open number line and then create the spaces
● Example on board: 1/2 , 1 / 4
○ Is ¼ bigger than ½ or smaller? Why?
○ Think about decimals? Is 0.5 bigger or 0.25?
2:25-2:35:As a class, using whiteboard number lines,draw where 0 is and 1 is on the paper
● Where is ½? Where is ¼?
● Share with your partner beside you when you’re done to make sure they’re the
same
Materials:
○ 1 whiteboard per group of 2
○ 1 marker
2:35-?:Groups of 2 to create three different numberlines: 1/4 , 5 / 8, 7/9ths on a number
line (Visually random, first student to come get whiteboard, second student to get marker),
3- ?:When groups are done, come check with Ms. Clarke and will get worksheet
