This math unit begins by introducing students to basic fraction concepts using visual aids like pictures, helping them understand and identify mixed fractions from these images. It progresses to placing these fractions on number lines, both with labeled and unlabeled points, shifting gradually from mixed fractions to reading and using them with non-simplified forms. As the unit advances, practical applications are incorporated, such as measuring lengths in inches and volumes in cups, enhancing learners' skills in applying fractions to real-life situations. The latter part of the unit delves into deeper fraction manipulations, converting between mixed and improper fractions, and identifying whole and fractional parts from visuals and using them in various fraction operations. Towards the end of the unit, students practice more complex conversion tasks and understanding equivalent fractions, refining their comprehension and operational skills with fractions to prepare for more advanced mathematical concepts.Skills you will learn include:
