    This 5-week unit focuses on equivalent representations of numbers including fractions, decimals, and mixed numbers. Students will explore fractions and their relationship to decimals, converting between the two representations. They will compare fractions using symbols and by converting to decimals or finding a common denominator. Later weeks involve adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions, as well as writing word problems involving fractions. Formative and summative assessments ensure students understand fraction operations and can solve problems and write their own word problems.

    Understanding By Design Essential Question


    Essential Question: What are the different parts of a number? What are the different ways to break wholes into parts? What do operations (+, -, x, ) allow us to discover? Guiding Questions: What does a fraction represent? When do we need to operate with fractions? When do we use certain operations? What happens to our answer when we add/subtract/multiply/divide 2 fractions? What is estimating and why is it important? How do we estimate fractions?

    Standards

    Long-term -Learning targets 1. Specific Learning targets (numbered)


    I can compare fractions using the symbols >, <, and = using cross multiplication and converting the fractions to decimals. I can reduce fractions.

    Summative Assessment (ongoing monitoring numbered to match LT)


    Quiz Performance Task: Students will take a series of MC and open-ended quizzes using the different methods of comparing fractions to one another. Comparing decimals will be spiraled into these quizzes. Criteria: All students will achieve an 80% or higher on the quizzes.

    2.05.3 Compare decimals and fractions using >, <, and = (FRACTIONS ONLY).

    2.05.7 Add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators.

    I understand the difference between a like and unlike denominator. I understand why it is necessary to have like denominators in order to add and subtract. I know how to find the least common denominator. I can add fractions. I can subtract fractions. I can reduce fractions.

    Open-ended assessment (2.05.7, 2.05.9, 2.05.11) Performance Task: All students will Students will solve addition and subtraction fraction problems by showing work. Students will solve addition and subtraction problems in word problems and will need to explain whether they decided to estimate or not, why they added or subtracted. Students will find the mistake in several problems (including not finding the LCD, not reducing the fraction). Certain students will be permitted to use a calculator.

    Criteria: All students will complete an 80% or higher on the assessment. Students who do not will have to retake during their lunch or tutoring. 2.05.8 Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions. I understand the word problem solving steps and can use them to solve problems. I understand words associated with adding and subtracting in word problems. 1) See open-ended assessment description above. 2) Write own word problems. Performance Task: Students will write their own 2 word problems using key words associated with addition and subtraction. They will solve their problems and explain their process for solving them. Criteria: All students will successfully write 2 word problems that make sense and have at least 1 addition and 1 subtraction problem. Students will earn at least an 80% on the rubric. 2.05.9 Multiply and divide fractions including dividing unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions. I can multiply fractions. I can understand what a reciprocal is and why we use it to divide fractions. I can reduce fractions. I can understand that a whole number has a denominator of 1. MC/Open-Ended Assessment Performance Task: Students will complete problems on multiplication and division involving both short problems and word problems. Problems on addition and subtraction will be spiraled into the test. Students will need to explain their process (finding the reciprocal, putting a whole number over 1, reducing at the end). Students will also need to find the mistake on several problems. Criteria: Students will receive at least an 80% on the assessment. Students who do not will continue to retake the assessment until they meet the requirement. 2.05.11 Estimate fraction and decimal sums or differences. I can round fractions to the nearest whole number in order to estimate an answer. See open-ended assessment description above.

    Remember that assessments are valid, reliable, authentic and anchored in credible and exhibit the six facets of understanding.

    Facet of Understanding

    Week 1 - Recognize equivalent representations for the same number.


    (W) What are the different parts of a number? We know about decimals, so we will move on to fractions and mixed numbers here.

    (Ex/Ev) What are fractions? How are they similar to decimals and how

    are they different? What are the different parts of a fraction? How do we write fractions? Students will brainstorm what they already know about fractions and similarities and differences to decimals with words and examples. (Ex/En/Eq) Where do we see fractions in our daily lives? Why do we sometimes see fractions instead of decimals? Is there a better time to use a fraction vs. a decimal? Show students why we can technically use a fraction or a decimal to represent the same number. (Ex/En/Eq) How do we convert fractions to decimals and decimals to fractions? Students will be shown how to convert fractions to decimals and decimals to fractions. They will do their own problems and through visual representations see why it is the same thing. Week 2 - Write terminating decimals in the form of fractions or mixed
    numbers.

    (Ex/En/Eq) Students will continue their work of converting fractions to decimals and vice versa and will work on explaining why this is the same thing. (Ex/Ev/R) Mini Project Students will work on creating their own problems and explanations for their project. (W/H) Students will review inequality symbols and talk about what they represent. I will give them a problem to try with fractions (ex: 3/8 ___ 1/2). Most students will think that 3/8 is greater than because the 3 and the 8 are bigger. We will discuss why the process is different for fractions and reference back to what these numbers are as decimals. (Ex/Ev) Students will learn the 2 processes for comparing fractions to one another and practice. Students will learn the importance of reducing fractions here to understand why 2 fractions that dont look the same may be equal. Students will also begin comparing fractions and decimals to one another.
