How are are benchmarks, area models and number lines related to each other? Can you elaborate on the reason why people use combinations of benchmarks, area models, and, number lines to compare fractions? Apply information from one text (resource) to develop a persuasive argument of using a combination of benchmarks, area, models, and number lines should be used together or used in isolation.]]> 2017-01-14 03:56:35 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_mommers/nyhdwfi3q8c7/wish/147173788 We use area models to compare and to make comparing fractions easier and we use benchmark fractions to relate a fraction that is the same amount of the opposing benchmark fraction and they use a number line to put fraction data and then put the equivalent fraction on the fraction it is equal to mostly an equal benchmark fraction.Benchmarks,area models,and number lines should be used together because you can use area models to compare easily,put it on a number line,and use benchmarks to compare. busayo_afe https://padlet.com/melissa_mommers/nyhdwfi3q8c7/wish/148079883 2017-01-19 14:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_mommers/nyhdwfi3q8c7/wish/148079883 q1 sabrina_albert https://padlet.com/melissa_mommers/nyhdwfi3q8c7/wish/148079905 We use them to multiply large numbers like 23x435]]> 2017-01-19 14:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_mommers/nyhdwfi3q8c7/wish/148079905 we use benchmark fractions to estimate the adding and subtracting of fractions. benjamin_novak https://padlet.com/melissa_mommers/nyhdwfi3q8c7/wish/148079979 2017-01-19 14:10:23 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_mommers/nyhdwfi3q8c7/wish/148079979 q2 sabrina_albert https://padlet.com/melissa_mommers/nyhdwfi3q8c7/wish/148080579 They both help you add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions]]> 2017-01-19 14:11:42 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_mommers/nyhdwfi3q8c7/wish/148080579 Q1 michael_charity https://padlet.com/melissa_mommers/nyhdwfi3q8c7/wish/148081568 Area model helps make multiplication very easy.]]> 2017-01-19 14:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_mommers/nyhdwfi3q8c7/wish/148081568 q3 sabrina_albert https://padlet.com/melissa_mommers/nyhdwfi3q8c7/wish/148082169 Benchmark fractions can help tell if a fraction is greater than or less than another fraction. For example, benchmark fractions can help me figure out if 4/6 is greater than 1/2
Number lines can help you figure out greater and less fractions because the farther right a fraction is, the greater it is.
