This resource is a series of slides that asks students to compare a given fraction to the benchmark numbers of 0, 1/2, and 1. This product also asks students to make generalizations about sets of fraction that are all equal to 1/2, have the same denominator, or all are one unit fraction piece away from a whole. This product is best used in conjunction with fraction strips.

This Desmos activity has students partiiton a fraction into fourths, model a fraction, and then determine if the fraction is more than, less than, or equal to 1/2 by looking at the denominator.

5x7 Fraction posters, Students can paste into math interactive notebooks and shade in the fraction listed. 3.2 The student will a) name and write fractions and mixed numbers represented by a model; b) represent fractions and mixed numbers with models and symbols

In this 35-day module, students extend and deepen Grade 2 practice with equal shares to understanding fractions as equal partitions of a whole. Their knowledge becomes more formal as they work with area models and the number line. Throughout the module, students have multiple experiences working with the Grade 3 specified fractional units of halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, and eighths. To build flexible thinking about fractions, students are exposed to additional fractional units such as fifths, ninths, and tenths.

Students will design and create an aqueduct that will move water from a starting point to an ending point at least 1 foot away without leaks or spills.  The aqueduct must stand on its own, include at least one arch in the design,  and use the force of gravity to move the water.  Students must also design and create their own “castellum” or container to collect the water at the end of the aqueduct.

Description: Students will be able to observe and provide evidence of soil erosion around the schoolyard, create and implement a plan to reduce erosion, and create a proposal for cost and resources needed to implement the plan.
