Lessons tagged with "unit-fractions"

This numbers and operations − fractions lesson covers how to represent unit fractions on a number line. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will read the problem and determine the total number of equal parts using the denominator. Then, they will divide the number line into the total number of equal parts, and represent the unit fraction on the number line.

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.
