Task 4: Mathematics Learning Segment Overview

Learning Segment Overview Directions: Briefly describe the instruction preceding the assessment by typing within the brackets in
each section of the chart below (no more than 2 single-spaced pages). Do not delete or alter the chart; both the chart and your
description are included in the total page count allowed. Refer to the evidence chart in the handbook to ensure that this

Central Focus: State-Adopted Content Standards

[ The purpose of this learning
segment is to extend the
students’ understanding of
fraction equivalence. The
students’ learned to recognize
fraction equivalency, create
common denominators, and
represent fractions. In this
learning segment, we will be
using these skills to compare
fractions with different
denominators and numerators. ]

[MGSE4.NF.2 Compare two fractions with different
numerators and different denominators, e.g., by using
visual fraction models, by creating common
denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a
benchmark fraction such as 1 2 . Recognize that
comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer
to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons
with symbols >, =, or <. ]
