Lesson Narrative
In grade 3, students learned to recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions. In earlier lessons, they reasoned about the size of fractions and identified some equivalent fractions. Throughout those experiences, students used fraction strips, tape diagrams, number lines, and benchmark fractions to support their reasoning.
In this lesson, students continue to rely on different representations and reasoning strategies to generate equivalent fractions (including those with denominators 5, 10, and 12, and fractions greater than 1). Students also hone their ability to communicate their reasoning clearly (MP3).

Teacher Reflection Questions
Whose ideas and voices were heard, valued, and accepted today? How can you adjust the group structure tomorrow to ensure each student’s ideas are a part of the collective learning?
