PRACITCE TIERED ASSIGNMENT 2

STANDARDS: NF.1.3 ASSESSMENT TOOLS:

Explain equivalence of fractions in special Observations, workbook data collection,
cases, and compare fractions by reasoning journal entries
about their size.
Essential Question: How do we compare
fractions?

CONTENT: SKILLS
Vocabulary: Prerequisite Skills:
compare 1. Understand the meaning of fractions
numerator 2. Identify fractions represented by
denominator models and number lines.
unit fraction 3. Understand that the size of a fractional
part is relative to the size of the whole.
4. Identify equivalent fractions and
explain why they are equivalent

ACTIVATE: Focus Activity: Pre-assessment Students will complete a journal question to

strategy see if they meet the prerequisite skills.

Journal Question:
1. Write the fraction each model shows.
(There would be a picture of fractions as
modeled in either a circle or in a
rectangle)
2. Write those fractions on a number line
from smallest to largest
ACQUIRE: Whole Group Introduction
In our math books, we will look at Lesson 18
Understand Comparing Fractions.

We will first look at two models of the same

size split into fourths. We see one model is
shaded ¼ and the next one is shaded 2/4. We
will give a thumbs up if they are the same
amount shaded and down if they are not. This
is will also help as a pre-assessment strategy.
We will look how those same fractions are
not on the same place on the number line. We
will first compare fractions that have the same
denominator and circle models that are
smaller or less than. We will then look at
fractions that have the same numerator and
see through the use of models how different
those fractions are.
