Grade 5 Unit 7 Fraction Computation

Unit 7 Fraction Computation

Content Emphasis/ Big Ideas

In this unit, fraction number sense concepts are reinforced and applied to computation and problem solving. Students add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers both with and without regrouping. Students solve practical problems with fractions that involve both single and multiple steps. Students also multiply a whole number by a fraction using models to solve single step practical problems.

Standards:

5.CE.2 The student will estimate, represent, solve, and justify solutions to single-step and multistep problems, including those in context, using addition and subtraction of fractions with like and unlike denominators (with and without models), and solve single-step contextual problems involving multiplication of a whole number and a proper fraction, with models.

5.PFA.1 The student will identify, describe, extend, and create increasing and decreasing patterns with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals, including those in context, using various representations.
