1. Color Tile ConundrumsHow can I determine an equivalent fraction using a quantity of a set?Use color tiles to solve each story problem. 1. Record your solution on a grid. Each square of the grid represents a color tile.2. Express your solution on a number line, too.

2. Third Grade AKS15.NF.1 understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b18.NF.2_a. represent a fraction 1/b on a number line diagram by defining the interval from 0 to 1 as the whole and partitioning it into "b" equal parts; recognize that each part has size 1/b and that the endpoint of the part based at 0 locates the number 1/b on the number line22.NF.3_b. recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions (e.g., 1/2 = 2/4, 4/6 = 2/3); explain why the fractions are equivalent by using a visual fraction model

3. Vertical Alignment2nd Grade: 31.G.3 partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc., and describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths. Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape4th Grade: 18.NF.1 explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n x a/n x b) by using visual fraction models with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size; use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions
