Unit 6: Comparing and Ordering Fractions

Unit 6: Comparing and Ordering Fractions

Comparing Fractions

Today's lesson was on using strategies to compare fractions. I was home today taking of my little girl. She is feeling better and I will be returning to school tomorrow. Since I wasn't at school today, I don't have actual pictures of the lesson in action, but I do want to share an overview of the lesson that I provided the substitute teacher with. The 2 strategies that students learned for comparing fractions were using benchmarks (such as 1/2) and rewriting the fractions using common denominators.

Ordering Fractions

Tomorrow's lesson will be focused on ordering fractions. I wanted to give you an overview of the lesson incase you would like to use it when you're helping your child with their unit review tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night students will bring home their unit 6 review to complete. Students will take the Unit 6 (Fraction Equivalence and Comparison) Test on Thursday. We will go over the review Thursday right before the test. Thank you so much for your help and support at home!
