Description: Interpreting and explaining the "why" of  the relationship between division fractions can be challenging for our 5th graders.  In this interactive and scripted 2 segment bundle (30-60 minutes each) your students will:

• Collaborate with peers to practice the "language" of math in strategic and purposeful partnerships and take "math" notes
• Use models to demonstrate understanding that a fraction is the result of dividing the numerator by the denominator
• Solve word problems involving the division of whole numbers resulting in proper fractions
• Draw and use models to represent fractions that are a result of dividing whole objects into smaller pieces
• Demonstrate their understanding of this skill by playing  "Fractions as Division Pictionary"
• Complete an exit slip to help you determine instructional next steps

CCSS: 5.NF.3

Skills: Fractions: Equivalent Fractions

Description: This number line printable is a great resource for comparing fractions and creating equivalent fractions. (Grades 2-5)

Skills: Collaborate with peers and practice the language of "fractions" Pose and respond to specific questions to clarify or follow up on information Make comments that ...

Description: Do your 4th graders need more practice multiplying fractions and explaining their reasoning?  In this lightly scripted, interactive 1 hour lesson they will: This 60-minute, fourth grade lesson plan teaches the concept of multiplying fractions by whole numbers. Students are asked to represent their solutions using fraction models. This lesson explicitly teaches standard concepts through whole class activities, creative partner practice games using dice/playing cards, and independent assessments.

• Collaborate with peers and practice the language of "fractions"
  • Pose and respond to specific questions to clarify or follow up on information
  • Make comments that contribute to the discussion and link to the remarks of others
• Model with fractions by applying and extending previous understanding of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number
• Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
• Review the key ideas expressed and explain their own ideas and understanding
• Demonstrate their understanding by playing games with dice or playing cards
• Complete an exit slip to help you determine next instructional steps

Description: Long division can be confusing and challenging for 4th graders.  In this fully scripted and interactive lesson they will:

• Collaborate with peers to practice the "language" of division and attend to precision
• • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
  • Model with mathematics
• Utilize prior division knowledge to practice the traditional algorithm for dividing with one digit divisors
• Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors
• Use strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division
• Practice the algorithm for dividends up to 4 digits in size
• Complete an exit slip to help you determine next instructional steps
