Mathematics

Domain - Number and Operations-Fractions, Grade 4

Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.

Math.4.NF.A.2: Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.

Math.4.NF.A.1: Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.

Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare decimal fractions.

Math.4.NF.C.7: Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.

Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare decimal fractions.

Math.4.NF.C.6: Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100. For example, rewrite 0.62 as 62/100; describe a length as 0.62 meters; locate 0.62 on a number line diagram.

Domain - Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers., Grade 4

Understand a fraction <i>a</i>/<i>b</i> with <i>a</i> &gt; 1 as a sum of fractions 1/<i>b</i>.

Math.4.NF.B.3d: Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole and having like denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.

Understand a fraction <i>a</i>/<i>b</i> with <i>a</i> &gt; 1 as a sum of fractions 1/<i>b</i>.

Math.4.NF.B.3b: Decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way, recording each decomposition by an equation. Justify decompositions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model. Examples: 3/8 = 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 ; 3/8 = 1/8 + 2/8 ; 2 1/8 = 1 + 1 + 1/8 = 8/8 + 8/8 + 1/8.

Understand a fraction <i>a</i>/<i>b</i> with <i>a</i> &gt; 1 as a sum of fractions 1/<i>b</i>.

Math.4.NF.B.3c: Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators, e.g., by replacing each mixed number with an equivalent fraction, and/or by using properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction.

Understand a fraction <i>a</i>/<i>b</i> with <i>a</i> &gt; 1 as a sum of fractions 1/<i>b</i>.

Math.4.NF.B.3a: Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole.

Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number.

Math.4.NF.B.4a: Understand a fraction a/b as a multiple of 1/b. For example, use a visual fraction model to represent 5/4 as the product 5 × (1/4), recording the conclusion by the equation 5/4 = 5 × (1/4).
