Fractions
Your student will be working and building on their previous experience of fractions. The main goals of Unit 6 are:
- understanding the meaning of fractions
- compare unit fractions
- add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators
- multiply a fraction by a whole number
In later lessons of this unit, your student will be introduced to the number line model for fractions. Students name fractions corresponding to given lengths on the number line and identify lengths corresponding to given fractions. They also see that there are many equivalent fraction names for any given length.
Your student will apply this knowledge about fractions and fraction operations to solve real world problems.
