  6. 3rd Grade Fractions Standards

  7. Fractions present abstract and challenging concepts to elementary and middle school children. Students often give up trying to understand and resort to memorizing rules. Difficulties with fractions lead to difficulties with… In order to help students truly learn fractions, we must first teach a deep understanding of the concept. Then we can teach a skill or procedure. • Decimals • Percentages • Ratios • Measurement

  8. Early Experiences Real world contexts help dispel common misunderstandings and misconceptions

  9. Fair Shares Jamie and Scott decided to share a pan of brownies. Show all of the different ways you could equally share a pan of brownies between two people. What fraction of the pan would each person receive? Four more friends come along. Show all of the different ways you could equally share a pan of brownies between four people. What fraction of the pan would each person receive? Which is a larger share? 1/6 or 1/2? Which is a larger fraction? six

  10. Fair Shares: Big Ideas

  11. Sample 3rd Grade Fraction Models http://people.usd.edu/~kreins/learningModules/DevelopingFractionConcepts.htm

  12. Fraction Symbols • Top Number (numerator): • This is the counting number. • It counts how many shares or parts we have. • It tells how many have been counted. • Bottom Number (denominator): • This tells what is being counted. • It tell what fractional part is counted. • If the number is 6, we are counting sixths. Teaching Student-Centered Mathematics, by John Van de Walle

  15. Dispelling Misconceptions Students often think that fractions with larger denominators are greater in size. 1 2 1 3 1 4 1 5 1 6 1 8 1 10 1 12

  19. Equivalent Fractions Third graders focus on equivalent fractions using models or drawings.

  20. Paper Folding

  21. Reasoning About Equivalences Jon and Charlie plan to run together. They argue about how far to run. Charlie says, I run 3/6 of a mile each day. Jon says, I can only run 1/2 of a mile. Explain why it is silly for them to argue. Draw a picture or a number line to support your reasoning. http://illustrativemathematics.org/illustrations/871
