Description: Presenting 4th graders will multiple opportunities to interact and practice with fractions helps them "cement" their understanding that fractions represent equal parts of a whole.  In this interactive, engaging and lightly scripted bundle of 2 lessons (30-60 minutes each), your students will:

• Collaborate with peers to practice the "language" of fractions
• Attend to precision identify by identifying that  comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole
• Compare two fractions by creating common numerators or common denominators
• Generate equivalent fractions with a common denominator or numerator using multiplication
• Record fraction comparisons using <, >, or =
• Illustrate and justify fraction comparisons using visual models
• Demonstrate their understanding of this skill by compare two fractions with different numerators and/or different denominators while playing the game "Compare the Pair"
• Complete an exit slip to help you determine next instructional steps
