Unit 7 Analyzing Shapes, Fractions & Patterns

Content Emphasis/ Big Ideas

• In this unit students will represent equal shares of a whole with two or four sharers, when given a contextual problem. They will name halves and fourths of a whole, using a region/area model and a set model.
• Students will also identify, describe and analyze a repeating and increasing pattern. They will extend and transfer the pattern using objects, colors, movements, pictures, or geometric figures.

Standards:

1.NS.3 The student will use mathematical reasoning and justification to solve contextual problems that involve partitioning models into two and four equal-sized parts.

1.PFA.1 The student will identify, describe, extend, create, and transfer repeating patterns and increasing patterns using various shapes and representations.
