Naming Fractions - answer1) Use their names (fifths, fourths)
2) Name is # of pieces in whole
3) Also called denominator
Common mistakes:
- Add denominators (1/9 + 3/9) = 4/18
- Remind them that 9 is the name, not the amount of parts
Ordering fractions - greater than/less than one-half - answer Use fraction milestones to
order them, don't need to find common denominator
Ordering fractions - More in depth than one half - answer Use close to 1 (⅞) or almost
zero (1/20)
If milestones don't work, use LCM
Common mistakes:
- Use common denominators too quickly
- Pick fractions with smaller denominator to be the biggest, because they have bigger
parts
Making Ones Whole - answerHow many fifths are in a whole?
Note:
- Remind them that bigger numbers use same concepts, ask them "how many thirtieths
in a whole?" "How many in half of a whole?"
Improper Fractions and Mixed Numbers - answer- DRAW IT OUT
