In This Unit of Study…
Students plot, order, and compare two fractions or mixed numbers with the same numerator or the same denominator. They demonstrate an understanding that the larger the denominator is, the smaller the unit fraction. Instruction includes utilizing an appropriately scaled number line to reason about distances of each fraction from zero. Comparisons are made by using the symbols >, <, or =, accompanied with a justification of the comparison. Instruction includes making connections between using a ruler and plotting and ordering fractions on a number line, and denominators are limited to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12.
