  1. Beyond Pizzas & PiesChapters 3 & 4

  2. While We Wait • What reflections on last week’s work do you have? • What, if anything, did you put into practice from last week’s learning experience? • Is there anything with which you agree or disagree?

  3. Reflections: Chapter 3 • Multiplication does not always make things bigger. • Fractions are numbers, not just shaded parts. • What does the Identity Property have to do with equivalent fractions?

  4. Reflections: Chapter 4 • Pre-labeled fraction pieces should not be used exclusively. • With pre-labeled kits, some students may not attend to the relationship between part and whole. • Changing the whole and using different representations for fractions will help students understand that fractions are always a part of something.

  5. Developing a Definition • Consider how you define equivalent fractions. • Turn to a partner and discuss your definition. • Share out to whole group

  6. Choose one of the equivalent fractions sets:

  7. Proving It • Write the fractions as equivalent to each other, using an equation. • Use number line(s) to represent your fractions as equivalent. • Draw, using the area/region model to demonstrate equivalency. • Show, using division, that the fractions are the same quantity

  8. Partitioning Use the Cuisenaire Rods to partition lines to show: • Fourths • Fifths • Sixths • Eighths

  9. Partitioning • What did you notice as you were partitioning? • What was particularly easy or challenging?
