Steps in this block
Step 1: Understand the denominators of unit fractions
Name unit fractions such as one quarter and one tenth, and understand what the denominator tells you.
Step 1 · not scaffolded sheet with answersStep 2: Compare and order unit fractions
Compare unit fractions and put them in order, using bar models: the greater the denominator, the smaller the part.
Step 2 · not scaffolded sheet with answersStep 3: Understand the numerators of non-unit fractions
Name non-unit fractions such as three quarters and say what the numerator and denominator tell you.
Step 3 · not scaffolded sheet with answersStep 4: Understand the whole
Understand that when all of the parts are shaded the fraction is a whole, and find what is needed to make one whole.
