In This Unit of Study…

Students plot, order, and compare fractions, including mixed numbers and fractions greater than one, with different numerators and different denominators. Instruction includes utilizing an appropriately scaled number line and reasoning about relative sizes of fractions. Students reason about distances of each fraction from benchmark fractions.  Comparisons will be made by using the symbols >, <, or =, accompanied with a justification of the comparison, and denominators are limited to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 100.
