Strand: NUMBER AND OPERATIONS - FRACTIONS (4.NF)
Extend understanding of equivalence and ordering of fractions
(Standards 4.NF.1-2). Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers
(Standards 4.NF.3-4). Understand decimal notation to the hundredths and compare decimal fractions with denominators of 10 and 100
(Standards 4.NF.5- 7). Denominators for fourth grade are limited to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.
Standard 4.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.
