Unit focus

  • Students compare fractions by using common denominators, benchmark fractions and number-line position, including values greater than one expressed as improper fractions or mixed numerals.
  • Use this routine: Represent → Reason → Calculate → Interpret → Verify.
  • Watch for larger denominator means larger fraction: With the same numerator, more equal parts means smaller parts.
