Grade 4 - Number

Standard 4.N.6 - Compare and sort fractions up to twentieths, arranging them in order from least to greatest or greatest to least.

Included Skills:

Demonstrate an understanding of fractions less than or equal to one by using concrete and pictorial representations to: name and record fractions for the parts of a whole or a set, compare and order fractions, model and explain that for different wholes, two identical fractions may not represent the same quantity, provide examples of where fractions are used.
• Represent a fraction using concrete materials.
• Represent a fraction based on a symbolically concrete representation (e.g., circles for cookies).
• Name and record the fraction for the included and not included parts of a set.
• Name and record the shaded and non-shaded (included and not included) parts of a whole.
• Represent a fraction pictorially by indicating parts of a given set.
• Represent a fraction pictorially by indicating parts of a whole.
• Explain how denominators can be used to compare two unit fractions with numerator 1.
• Order a set of fractions that have the same numerator and explain the ordering.
• Order a set of fractions that have the same denominator and explain the ordering.
• Identify which of the benchmarks 0, 1/2, or 1 is closer to a given fraction.
• Name fractions between two benchmarks on a number line.
• Order a set of fractions by placing them on a number line with given benchmarks.
• Provide examples of when two identical fractions may not represent the same quantity (e.g., half of a large apple is not equivalent to half of a small apple; half a group of ten cloudberries is not equivalent to half of a group of sixteen cloudberries).
• Provide an example of a fraction that represents part of a set, a fraction that represents part of a whole, or a fraction that represents part of a length from everyday contexts.
