TITLE OF LESSON:
Fractions on a Number Line
Movement Phrase
Content Standard(s):
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NF.A.1
Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part
when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a
fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NF.A.2
Understand a fraction as a number on the number line;
represent fractions on a number line diagram.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NF.A.2.A
Represent a fraction 1/b on a number line diagram by
defining the interval from 0 to 1 as the whole and partitioning
it into b equal parts. Recognize that each part has size
1/b and that the endpoint of the part based at 0 locates the
number 1/b on the number line.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NF.A.2.B
Represent a fraction a/b on a number line diagram by
marking off a lengths 1/b from 0. Recognize that the resulting
interval has size a/b and that its endpoint locates the
number a/b on the number line.
Teacher: Young
Grade Level: Third
Subject: Math
Fine Arts Standard(s):
Identifies and demonstrates movement elements,
skills, and terminology in dance a. Executes and
combines a wide range of locomotor movements and
movement combinations (e.g., walk, run, hop, jump,
gallop, and skip) and foundational technical dance
steps (e.g., chasse, grapevine, stephop) with
appropriate energy and coordination, in a variety of
pathways, directions, and qualities b. Executes a
range and sequence of axial movements comprised of
space, force, body shapes and qualities (e.g., levels,
sharp/smooth, curved/straight, heavy/light, swing/float)
c. Demonstrates clear weight transfer and directional
and facing changes in both axial and locomotor
combining movements d. Demonstrates the ability to
perform a sequence of movements in response to oral
instruction and improvise from a sequence of general
prompts
Lesson Process:
The students will use movement phrases to model common fractions on a number line. They will use a
sentence strip as a number line and will label it in 4ths, 6ths, or 8ths for differentiation. Using the Smart
Lesson go over the dance vocabulary, and explain the parameters for the movement phrase.

CLOSING- Student groups will share their movement phrases.
