Skills
- explain (what a unit fraction 1/b represents) #dok2
- identify (the quantity formed by 1 part of a whole partitioned into b equal parts) #dok1
- illustrate (how to partition a whole into b equal parts) #dok2
Learning Targets
- I can identify that 1/b means one part out of b equal parts of a whole. #dok1
- I can explain that a unit fraction represents the amount of one part when a whole is split into equal pieces. #dok2
- I can illustrate a whole partitioned into b equal parts and show one part as the unit fraction 1/b. #dok2
Big Ideas
- A unit fraction shows the amount represented by one equal part of a whole split into b parts.
- Understanding unit fractions is foundational for making sense of all other fractions.
