Unit 5, Lesson 8
Fracciones y números enteros
Grado 3
Preparation
Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is for students to recognize fractions that are equivalent to whole numbers, and to locate whole numbers on the number line when given the location of a unit fraction.
Lesson Narrative
In previous lessons, students learned to partition number lines, and located and labeled fractions on the number line. Students deepen their understanding of fractions as they consider which fractions are equivalent to whole numbers, and relate that understanding to their knowledge of how many halves, thirds, and fourths are in one whole. They leverage their understanding of how many halves, thirds, and fourths are in one whole to locate whole numbers, such as 1 and 2, on the number line when given the location of a unit fraction.
- Representation
- MLR1
- Describe (orally) patterns in fractions that are at the same location as whole numbers on the number line.
- Explain (orally and in writing) strategies for locating and labeling whole numbers on the number line when given a unit fraction.
- Trabajemos con fracciones y con números enteros en la recta numérica.
Required Preparation
None
