Description
This project was designed to help students apply their knowledge of computing fractions and decimals. Students make instruments using fractional parts of a whole. Once the instrument is made, students play a short song for the class. The students LOVE this project

CCSS5.NF.A.1
Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, ๐ข/๐ฃ + ๐ค/๐ฅ = (๐ข๐ฅ + ๐ฃ๐ค)/๐ฃ๐ฅ.)
CCSS5.NF.A.2
Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. For example, recognize an incorrect result 2/5 + 1/2 = 3/7, by observing that 3/7 < 1/2.
CCSS5.NF.B.3
Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (๐ข/๐ฃ = ๐ข รท ๐ฃ). Solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to answers in the form of fractions or mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. For example, interpret 3/4 as the result of dividing 3 by 4, noting that 3/4 multiplied by 4 equals 3, and that when 3 wholes are shared equally among 4 people each person has a share of size 3/4. If 9 people want to share a 50-pound sack of rice equally by weight, how many pounds of rice should each person get? Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie?
CCSS5.NF.B.4
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.
CCSS5.NF.B.4a
Interpret the product (๐ข/๐ฃ) ร ๐ฒ as a parts of a partition of ๐ฒ into ๐ฃ equal parts; equivalently, as the result of a sequence of operations ๐ข ร ๐ฒ รท ๐ฃ. For example, use a visual fraction model to show (2/3) ร 4 = 8/3, and create a story context for this equation. Do the same with (2/3) ร (4/5) = 8/15. (In general, (๐ข/๐ฃ) ร (๐ค/๐ฅ) = ๐ข๐ค/๐ฃ๐ฅ.)
