WHOLE-CLASS DISCUSSION
(Math Journal 1, p. 129)
Remind students that a benchmark is a well-known count or measure that can serve as a reference point when estimating. 1 When working with fractions, the benchmarks 0, _ , and 1 are often 2 used. Discuss how students applied their knowledge of numerators, denominators, and benchmarks to tell if each measurement is 1 closest to 0, _ , or 1. 2

Ordering Fractions
On the board or a transparency, draw 4 horizontal lines in a row to order the fractions from Problems 1–4 of the journal page. Volunteers explain which of the Math Message fractions is least 1 is the least because it is the closest to 0; and which is greatest. _ 8 15 is the greatest because it is closest to 1. Write these fractions _ 16 5 and _ 3 are on the first and last lines, respectively. Ask: Since _ 8 8 1 , how do we decide where to write them? Both equally close to _ 2 fractions are eighths, and 5 is more than 3, which means that 3 is the smaller fraction so it is closer to 0. _ 8

Explain that examining numerators and denominators is the first step when comparing and ordering fractions. Refer students to journal page 129.
Math Journal 1, p. 130
Ask students to describe the fractions in Problem 7. The numerators are the same. Now what do we know? There are the same number of pieces for each fraction. So only the size of the pieces (the denominators) needs to be compared. Remind students that the smaller the denominator is, the larger the piece is. Ask students to describe the fractions in Problem 8. There are two different denominators; there are two unit fractions. First 1 and _ 1 . The smaller denominator is compare the unit fractions _ 3 4 the larger fraction. The remaining fractions are within one 3 is _ 1 away from 1, and _ 2 is _ 1 away from 1. piece of 1—that is, _ 4 4 3 3 1 is greater than _ 1 , that makes _ 2 farther away from 1. Since _ 3

1. Skip-Counting with Fractions Please refer students to journal page 130. Explain that a fraction stick is a model for the whole, or the ONE, that shows unit fractions for the interval between 0 and 1. Each row of the Fraction-Stick Chart combines 2 fraction sticks to show the interval from 0 to 2, divided into unit fractions for a particular denominator.
NOTE A fraction stick is a narrow rectangle divided into pieces that represents fractions. Sometimes it is helpful to make physical fraction sticks, as in Part 3 of this lesson.
Example: The third row shows two sticks, each divided into 1 . The pieces thirds. There are 6 pieces in this row, each labeled _ 3 can be used to count by thirds.
2. Finding Equivalent Fractions The Fraction-Stick Chart on Math Masters, page 137 can be used to find equivalent fractions. Survey the class for examples of pairs of fractions that name the same part of a whole. Emphasize that these are equivalent fractions and list the examples on the 3 is equivalent to _ 1. board. For example, _ 6 2 2. Example: Find equivalent fractions for _

Step 1: The denominator is 3, so use the thirds stick to locate the 2 . Count the pieces from left to right. The right edge of the fraction _ 3 2. second piece is _ 3 2 , that is, along the Step 2: Place one edge of a straightedge at _ 3 1 piece. The straightedge should be right edge of the second _ 3
parallel to the sides of the Fraction-Stick Chart. Now look for other fraction sticks on the chart along the straightedge. On the sixths stick, the straightedge touches the right edge of a piece. Count the sixths-stick pieces from left to right. The 4 . So _ 4 is straightedge is at the end of the fourth piece, which is _ 6 6 2 _ equivalent to 3 .
Ongoing Assessment: Informing Instruction Watch for students who confuse the fraction labels with the actual end of the fraction stick. Remind students that the labels are in the center of a portion, not at its end. Have students draw a light pencil line along the straightedge and use the line instead of the straightedge to identify equivalent portions.
On the ninths stick, the straightedge touches the end of the sixth 6 . So _ 6 =_ 2. piece, which is _ 9 9 3 On the twelfths stick, the straightedge touches the end of the 8 . So _ 8 =_ 6 , and _ 8 2 . The fractions _ 2, _ 4, _ eighth piece, which is _ 12 12 3 3 6 9 12 are equivalent. They name the same distance on the FractionStick Chart.

To explore comparing and ordering fractions using a length model, have students make fraction strips. Students cut 6 strips of paper, 1 " and then fold and label them to represent halves, each 2" by 8_ 2 thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, and eighths. (See margin.)

To fold into thirds, fold one end in so the doubled parts and the single part are the same size. To fold into sixths, fold a strip into thirds and then in half. For fifths, fold the two outside edges of the strip in toward the middle but not together. Fold them so the doubled parts and the space between them look like three equal parts. Now fold the doubled parts back the other way at the point where the folded ends first came down.
When folded into thirds, the edge of the folded end divides the rest into halves.
Have students label the fractions on the folds. As they finish, ask students to fold two strips so only the unit fraction shows and then 1 is less than _ 1. make a comparison statement. For example, _ 5 3
When folded into fifths, the two folded ends are equal in size to the space in the middle.

To apply students’ understanding of fractions, have them explore the relationships between the numerators and denominators of equivalent fractions. When they finish, have them share one of their discoveries.
