Taking extreme weather book (I Survived series) and take the time to read over the weeks to the students

• Develops an understanding of fractions as numbers and represent ½, ⅓ and ¼. Uses language of half, third, quarter and also relates to time

• Represents a fraction 1/b on a number line diagram by defining the interval from 0 to 1 as the whole and partitioning it into b equal parts. 

• Represents a fraction a/b on a number line diagram by marking off a length 1/b from

• Recognizes that the resulting interval has size a/b and that its endpoint locates the number a/b on the number line

• Explains equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compares fractions by reasoning about their size.

• Recognizes and generates simple equivalent fractions, e.g., 1/2 = 2/4, 4/6 = 2/3. Explains why the fractions are equivalent, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

• Expresses whole numbers as fractions, and recognizes fractions that are equivalent to whole numbers.

• Compares two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by reasoning about their size.
