Math:
This week in math we will generate simple equivalent fractions by using visual fraction models and the number line.  The students will practice expressing whole numbers as fractions and recognize equivalence with different units.  They will decompose whole number fractions greater than 1 using whole number equivalence with various models. The students will compare fractions with the same numerator pictorially.

Example of using a model to decompose whole numbers into fractions.
     
                                       
                                        
Things to practice and review at home:
Help your child develop an understanding of fractions as numbers by providing opportunities to discuss parts of whole at home.
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).
Please review homework daily and create additional problems to review concepts and skills.
