Learning Targets and Learning Criteria |
The student will: -Demonstrate with concrete and visual models that adding fractions referring to the same size whole is joining parts of the wholes. -Demonstrate with concrete and visual models that subtracting fractions referring to the same size whole is separating parts of the wholes. -Decompose a fraction (less than or greater than 1) into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way using visual models. -Record the decomposition of a fraction by an equation and justify the decomposition. -Decompose a mixed number into a sum of fractions equal to 1 and a fraction less than 1 to find an equivalent fraction to replace the mixed number in an addition or subtraction situation. -Find equivalent sums or differences by converting fractions greater than 1 to mixed numbers by decomposing the fraction into a sum of fractions equal to 1 and fractions less than 1. -Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators using equivalent fractions, and/or by using properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction. -Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators using visual fraction models and/or equations. -Investigate and describe how energy can cause motion (e.g., moving water can turn a water wheel to make -Investigate and describe how energy can create change in matter (e.g., heat energy can melt ice, moving water can -Explain the relationship between energy and motion. |
