Math Unit 3

Topics covered in Unit 3:

• I can explain and show models for why multiplying a numerator and a denominator by the same number does not change the value of a fraction and creates equivalent fractions.  
• I can compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators by creating common denominators or numerators or by comparing them to a benchmark fraction like one-half. 
• I can recognize that comparisons of fractions are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. 
• I can compare fractions using symbols and justify the comparison by using models.
