Math Learning Goals:

3.3H – (R) Compare two fractions having the same numerator or denominator in problems by reasoning about their size and justifying the conclusion using symbols, words, objects, and pictorial models.

3.3F – (R) represent equivalent fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 using a variety of objects and pictorial models, including number lines

3.3G – (S) explain that two fractions are equivalent if and only if they are both represented by the same point on the number line or represent the same portion of a same-size whole for an area model

3.6E – (S) decompose two congruent two-dimensional figures into parts with equal areas and express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole and recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape
