Lesson

 Your teacher gave you a fraction card.  Draw a model of the fraction.  Here’s one example:  Describe what your fraction means. The purple section of the model represents 1/5 of the whole denominator numerator The model represents a division problem. N ÷ D Fractions are numbers; they can be added, subtracted, multiplied, or divided. 2

 Think about where your fraction would be located on a number line. Is it greater than ½? Is it less than ½? How does it compare to ¼? ¾?

 Describe how the fractions on the cards would be placed in order on the number line.  Order all of the fraction cards in your group from least to greatest

 Divisor – the quantity by which another quantity is to be divided.  Dividend – a quantity to be divided. 5
