What educators are saying
Description
Looking for a way for your students to develop a deep conceptual understanding of fractions? This unit is for you! Complete with google slide lessons (which can be converted to powerpoint) using virtual manipulatives, this unit uses many questions similar to past provincial assessments and focuses on fraction number sense, using tools and drawings to represent understanding. As well, if you are uncomfortable with fractions yourself, the lessons will help you develop your own conceptual understanding!
The following topics are addressed:
-representing proper, improper and mixed fractions
-representing equivalent fractions
-comparing and ordering fractions (proper, improper and mixed) based on same denominator, same numerator, size and number of pieces, and benchmarks (0, 1/2, 1)
-adding and subtracting fractions with like and unlike denominators
-multiplying whole numbers by unit fractions and proper fractions
-dividing whole numbers by unit fractions and proper fractions
Although this unit is based on the expectations of the New Ontario Curriculum, it is suitable for teaching these concepts to students in grades 3-8.

*NOTE: At the beginning of the unit when fraction concepts are being reviewed, and when grade 5 topics are being introduced, the grade 5 and 6 lessons and work are the same. When the grade specific expectations are being addressed (e.g., multiplying whole numbers by unit fractions for grade 5, and whole numbers by proper fractions for grade 6), the work is different. The final assessments are different for each grade.
