Standards/Essential Questions:
- 5.NF.A.2 Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answer
- 5.NBT.B.6 Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
- How can using benchmarks (0, ½, 1, 2) help to understand the size of fractions?
- How do fraction equivalents help compare and order fractions?
- How does using equivalent fractions help solve problems?
- How does reasoning about fraction equivalents and relationships help add and subtract fractions?
- How can using multiple representation of fractions enrich understanding of adding and subtracting fractions?
- What general rules can be used to add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers?
- How can measurements involving fractions be represented on a line plot?
Big Ideas:
- Fractions are numbers.
- Numbers (including fractions) can be represented on a number line. Measurements involving fractions can be represented on a line plot.
- We can compare two fractions with the same numerator by using reasoning about the size of the fractional part (denominator).
- We can compare two fractions with the same denominator by using reasoning about the number of parts (numerator).
- Operations involving fractions are similar to in some ways to operations involving whole numbers; operations involving fractions different in some ways than operations involving whole numbers.
