by a parts of size 1/b. [In grade 3, limit denominators of fractions to 2, 3, 4, 6, 8.]
• ISTE:
o Empowered learner: students leverage technology to take an active role in
choosing, achieving and demonstrating competency in their learning goals,
informed by the learning sciences.
o Digital citizen: Students recognize the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of

o Choose toppings from pepperoni, tomatoes, green pepper, mushroom,
and sausage
§ Must include fractions not just wholes
• See worksheet: students record their fractions
