What are we going to do today?
What does identify mean?
Activate (or provide) Prior Knowledge
Simplify each fraction to lowest terms. 1. 2.
Create equivalent fractions. 3. 4. = =
CFU
Teacher completes problems #1 and #3. Students complete problems #2 and #4. Students, you already know how to simplify fractions and that there is more than one way to represent fractions. Today, we will use our knowledge of representing fractions to identify their location on a number line.
