| 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. – Describe an object’s position and motion in space. |
