Standard: 4.NSF.2
Compare two
given fractions
(i.e.,
denominators 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10,
12, 25, 100) by
creating common
denominators or
numerators, or by
comparing to a
benchmark
fraction such as
1/2 and represent
the comparison
using the symbols
>, =, or <.

denominator is the same. If it
is, then we know to compare
based on the numerator. I
will show them that when the
numerators are the same,
You look at the smaller
denominator. I will teach key
notes.

TW:

I will
demonstrate that
a fraction can be
broken into more
pieces. I will
demonstrate 1-2
problems like
this :

I will
demonstrate that
a fraction can be
composed based
on their knowledge
of unit fractions I
will demonstrate
1-2 problems like
this :

2/3 = 1/3 + 1/3

TW:

3/6 =1/6 + 2/6

Guided TW & SW:

Practice:

TW & SW:

We will do about 3 problems ASSESSMENT

together showing them to
direct their attention to the
denominator/ numerator to
see what rule applies. They
will copy these into their
notes
We will use fractions on a
number line and area
models.

They will get an assessment

to compare all kinds of
fractions with like and unlike
denominators .Some will be
with number lines, some with
area models

Closure: TW: We will do an exit ticket: TW: We will do an exit

why do we look at the
denominator when both
numerators are the same?

TW & SW:

I will
demonstrate that
a fraction can be
broken into more
pieces. I will
demonstrate
numerous
problems with
both decomposing
and composing
fractions. I will
specific that the
composition of
fractions are not
always unit
fractions.

SW: They will get

an assessment
that will require
them to
decompose
fractions that are
given to them in
number
sentences and
models.

TW: We will play

ticket: when do have to
thumbs up game to
make sure that
represent true or false
denominators are the same for a completed

Students will be using

KAHOOT- gaming app
that allows students
review fractions

SW:
They will get an
assessment that
will require them
to compose
fractions that are
given to them in
number sentences
and models.

SW:
I will use the
KAHOOT app to
assess my
students on all of
the information
that has been
retained for the
past 2 weeks.
