Unit 6: Numbers and Operations – Fraction Equivalence, Addition, and Subtraction
Children are currently moving through Unit 6, adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers as well as solving real world problems with fractions and mixed numbers. This unit helps children understand that comparing and ordering fractions can lead to a reasonable answer to a context problem. They will be using strategies such as bar models, clock models, finding a common denominator, using pictures, and estimation to solve given problems. This unit begins with exploring fraction equivalence, then progresses into using that concept to compare, order, add, and subtract both fractions and mixed numbers.
