Represent and Name Fractions (Halves and Fourths) Formative Assessment - Just in Time Quick Check, Teacher Notes, and Supporting Resources

Students will find helpful resources for learning and practicing math skills and processes in this eMediaVA collection.

This collection has resources organized by grade level teachers can use to teach math.

Exploring equal sharing problemsMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This resource is a remix of the original lesson (https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/826). As per Illustrative mathematics, the purpose of this task is for students to see different ways of partitioning a figure into two or more equal shares, by which we mean decomposing the figure into "pieces" with equal area.Suggested modifications -The modifications made to the original resource allows flexibility to teachers in instruction.The lesson plan focuses on helping students understand the idea of equivalent fractions and encourages cooperative learning to have a mathematical discourse about unit fractions.Teachers can incorporate fraction circle manipulatives, that will provide students with a hands-on active learning experience. Enrichment activity- Teachers can use art to allow the student to demonstrate creativity as they learn about fractions. Students can design or illustrate a pattern containing the conceptual concept.
