This number sense lesson focuses on identifying a fraction of a whole. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read a problem and determine the number of parts asked for (numerator), and the number of parts that make up the whole (denominator). Then, they read the fraction. In addition to the lesson, there are 11 pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This numbers and operations − fractions lesson covers how to express whole numbers as fractions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will count the whole items in a picture, write the whole number, and then express that whole number as a fraction.

This numbers and operations − fractions lesson covers how to determine fractions of a whole. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will read the problem and identify the selected part. Then, they will write the unit fraction of the whole, determine the fraction of the whole by counting selected unit fractions, and interpret the result.

This number sense lesson focuses on using pictures to subtract fractions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students represent the difference of the fractions by shading the number of equal parts. Then, they subtract fractions by using the pictures (keeping the common denominator and finding the numerator by subtracting the number of equal parts). In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number and operations--fractions lesson teaches students how to generate equivalent fractions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will create equivalent fractions. This lesson focuses on changing a fraction to another. Students are provided a variety of strategies and support to visualize the equivalence. Real-world examples are also provided.

This lesson focuses on the fluency of dividing a unit fraction by a whole number. Although the purpose of the lesson is to teach the process, there are opportunities for students to conceptually examine, read, and write about the structure of a unit fraction being divided by a whole number.

This fractions word problems lesson covers the meaning of fraction multiplication. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for common assessments and performance tasks. In this lesson, students will read multiplication word problems and draw models to understand what it means to find a fraction of a fraction.
