Math:

This week in math, the students will decompose whole number fractions greater than one using whole number equivalence with various models.  They will compare fractions with the same numerator pictorially.  The students will compare fractions with the same numerator using <, >, or = and use a model to reason about their size.  They will partition various wholes precisely into parts using a number line.

Example of decomposing whole number fractions greater than one:

Things to Practice at home:

Practice multiplication and division facts to help develop fluency.
Provide opportunities to partition objects and compare fractional parts at home.
Use addition and subtraction strategies to add and subtract 2, 3 and 4 digit numbers.
Use number lines, number bonds and fraction strips to compare fractions and find equivalent fractions.
