GENERATE
Ask students to compile information and generate relationships
Students can refresh their understanding of fraction relationships between
common/proper fractions using the Illuminations Fraction Game
Using number lines (my students usually use dry erase markers on their desks
for something like this), students plot benchmark fractions. E.g. halves,
thirds, quarters, fifths, eights, tenths
While working in pairs, ask students to predict where other fractions (within
a set, values less than 1) fall on their number line
o
Students can pair/share their results with a partner explaining their
reasoning using math vocabulary and proof of relationships through
bench marks or equivalent/simplified fraction comparisons
o
Ask students to share, compare, explain to each other and to the
teacher when asked about their thinking
