Lesson Synopsis: Students use manipulatives to model and generate equivalent fractions. Students generate and find equivalent fractions and fractions in simplest form. TEKS: The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) listed below are the standards adopted by the State Board of Education, which are required by Texas law. Any standard that has a strike-through (e.g. sample phrase) indicates that portion of the standard is taught in a previous or subsequent unit. The TEKS are available on the Texas Education Agency website at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=48.2 Number, operation, and quantitative reasoning. The student uses fraction names and symbols (with denominators of 2 or less) to describe fractional parts of whole objects or sets of objects. The student is expected to:.2c Use fraction names and symbols to describe fractional parts of whole objects or sets of objects. Readiness Standard.2D Construct concrete models of equivalent fractions for fractional parts of whole objects.

Enhanced Instructional Transition Guide Grade / Unit 0: Suggested Duration: days Grade Unit0 PI02 Construct an equivalent representation of a whole or a set of objects in a given problem situation using concrete manipulatives. Describe the fractional parts of each representation using words, numbers, and symbols. Justify in writing how the equivalent fractions were determined. Sample Performance Indicator: Larry was creating a tile design for his new kitchen floor. Recreate Larry s Tile Design and construct Ron s Tile Design using concrete manipulatives so that the black tiles represent a fraction equivalent to Larry s black tiles and the white tiles represent a fraction equivalent to Larry s white tiles. Use the concrete models to write a statement of equivalence using words, numbers, and symbols for: () the number of white tiles in each tile design and (2) the number of black tiles in each tile design. Justify in writing how Larry s Tile Design was used to generate an equivalent fraction for the white tiles and an equivalent fraction for the black tiles in Ron s Tile Design. Standard(s):.2C,.2D,.4A,.4D,.A,.B ELPS ELPS.c.C, ELPS.c.H, ELPS.c.G Key Understanding(s): An equivalent fraction and/or an equivalent model can be generated from a given fraction, concrete object and/or pictorial model, and described using words, page of 0
Enhanced Instructional Transition Guide Grade / Unit 0: Suggested Duration: days numbers, and symbols. Fractional parts of a whole or sets of objects can be described using fraction names and symbols. Fractions can represent equal parts of a whole or sets of objects. The number of parts of the whole or set of objects defines the denominator, whereas, the number of specified parts of the whole or set of objects defines the numerator. Misconception(s): Some students may think the numerator and the denominator of a fraction share no relationship and confuse which number represents the numerator and which number represents the denominator. Remind students that the total number of equal parts should be the denominator, or bottom number, of the fraction. The numerator, or top number, of the fraction should be the number of parts under consideration. Some students may think when a fraction is written using a diagonal line, such as /, that the numerator and denominator have the same value. Only use a horizontal line to clearly separate the numerator from the denominator, such as. According to Galen (2004), this form of writing fractions is called case fraction form. Some students may think fraction bars, similar to the example below, means that one block is worth out of ; the next block is worth 2 out of, etc. This leads to confusion with the concept of fractions. Some students may think that the fraction with the larger digit has the greater value. Although this is true in some instances, students need to be exposed to problems where this is not true. Also, if students are using fraction strips, circles, or other fraction manipulatives, they will be able to compare fractions without making this common error.
