- A
fraction signifies
a quotient, interpreted
as a functional
relationship between
a/b.
- Identify and represent, with
words, pictures,
situations involving "a" measured
in "b."
- Use "b" as
a measure of "a," and express the
measure as a
fraction. For
example, 10/3
means to measure
10 in units
of 3, so that
the result is
10/3.
- "a" copies
of measure of "b," and express the
copies as a
fraction. For
example, ¾ means
3 copies of
the ¼ measure
(1 measured
in 4 expressed
in the previous
learning performance)
- Establish
equivalence
as equal measure.
- Use
equivalence
to add and subtract
fractions with
unlike denominators.
- Interpret
fractions as
signifying a functional relationship.
- A
fraction signifies
a part of a whole.
Fractions of the
form a/b, where
a < b
can are interpreted
as "a" count
of "b" parts.
- Identify and represent,
with words
or pictures,
situations
involving
simple part-whole
relationships
- Use
a part to measure the
whole, and express the
measure
as a multiple of
parts
- Order simple
fractional
magnitudes
along a
number-line.
- Establish
equivalence
as equivalence
between parts
of the same
whole.
- Use
equivalence
- A
fraction signifies particular
images (like a candy bar split
in half) but otherwise does not
behave as a number.
