3rd Grade:Week Four - Lesson Plans

Week Four

This week students will compare fractions on a number line.

  • Students work with puzzles involving representing fractions as a bar model, moving the bar model to a number line and understanding a fraction as a number on a number line. They represent a fraction 1/b on a number line by defining the interval from 0 to 1 and partitioning it into b equal parts. They recognize each of these parts as 1/b . They represent fractions a/b by a lengths of 1/b from zero. Students use benchmark fractions and unit fractions to place fractions on a number line diagram. They understand that two fractions are equivalent when they occupy the same point on a number line. They express whole numbers as fractions and recognize fractions that are equivalent to whole numbers. Students use the number line diagram to compare fractions.
