Math:

This week in math the students will compare unit fractions with different sized models representing the whole.  They will specify the corresponding whole when presented with one equal part.  The students will begin to identify a shaded fractional part in different ways depending on the designation of the whole and place unit fractions on anumber line with endpoints 0 and 1.  The students will begin to recognize and show that equivalent fractions refer to the same point on the number line.

Example of identifying a fractional part in different ways:

   

                

                                     

Examples of unit fractions on a number line:

                               

  

Things to practice and review at home:

Help your child partition things at home into equal parts and comparing fractional parts of a whole.

Practice identifying number patterns using multiplication, addition or subtraction strategies.

Continue to review  multiplication and division facts 2 to 10.  

Practice solving two step word word problems involving all four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).

Continue to practice rounding numbers to the nearest 10’s and 100’s using vertical number lines.
