MATH:   MA.4.FR.2.2    MA.4.AR.1.2    MA.4.FR.2.1

  • Add and subtract fractions with like denominators, including mixed numbers and fractions greater than one, with procedural reliability.
  • Solve real-world problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators, including mixed numbers and fractions greater than one.
  • Decompose a fraction, including mixed numbers and fractions greater than one, into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in multiple ways. Demonstrate each decomposition with objects, drawings and equations.

SCIENCE:  SC.4.P.12.2

    • Investigate and describe that the speed of an object is determined by the distance it travels in a unit of time and that objects can move at different speeds.
Learning Targets and Learning Criteria

 

The student will:

  • Write a fraction as a sum of unit fractions.
  • Represent mixed numbers as a fraction.
  • Add and subtract fractions with like denominators.
  • Solve problems using fractions and mixed numbers.
