Grade 4 - Number
Standard 4.N.8 - Compare and sort fractions up to twentieths, arranging them in order from least to greatest or greatest to least.
Included Skills: Fractions
Demonstrate an understanding of fractions less than or equal to one by using concrete and pictorial representations to: • name and record fractions for the parts of a whole or a set • compare and order fractions • model and explain that for different wholes, two identical fractions may not represent the same quantity • provide examples of where fractions are used. • Achievement Indicators - Represent a given fraction using concrete materials. - Identify a fraction from its given concrete representation. - Name and record the shaded and non-shaded parts of a given set. - Name and record the shaded and non-shaded parts of a given whole. - Represent a given fraction pictorially by shading parts of a given set. - Represent a given fraction pictorially by shading parts of a given whole. - Explain how denominators can be used to compare two given unit fractions with numerator 1. - Order a given set of fractions that have the same numerator and explain the ordering. - Order a given set of fractions that have the same denominator and explain the ordering. - Identify which of the benchmarks 0, 1/2 or 1 is closer to a given fraction. - Name fractions between two given benchmarks on a number line. - Order a given set of fractions by placing them on a number line with given benchmarks. - Provide examples of when two identical fractions may not represent the same quantity, e.g., half of a large apple is not equivalent to half of a small apple; half of ten cloudberries is not equivalent to half of sixteen cloudberries. - Provide an example of a fraction that represents part of a set and a fraction that represents part of a whole from everyday contexts.
