Week 2 Discussion

This document discusses teaching students about whole to part relationships and problem solving in week 2. Students will learn how to use least common multiples to break wholes into equivalent pieces and apply fractions to basic problem solving. They will connect LCM to efficiently cutting wholes into equal pieces and discuss how to make different sized pieces the same size using LCM and an illustration.

Week 2: Whole to part relationships: Applying to problem solving.

The student will explore how to get multiple wholes to be broken into equivalent pieces
through the use of Least Common Multiples, and apply fractions to basic problem solving.

Students will connect LCM to being a faster way to cut wholes into equal pieces
Discussion:
If one whole is cut into 3 pieces and another whole is split into 4 equal pieces, we cannot
compare them until all the pieces are the same size. Suggest some ways we can make all
the pieces the same size. Use the illustration to help.
