Fractions Unit
Fractions Unit
Skills to be examined
1. Identify fractions and as both part of a whole and set/group.
2. Draw/represent fractions as both part of a whole and set.
3. Identify and represent mixed numbers.
4. Convert between mixed number and improper fractions.
5. Identify equivalent fractions.
6. Convert between fractional and decimal form.
7. Order and compare fractions.
8. Place fractions and mixed numbers into lowest terms.
9. Add and subtract fractions with like denominators.
10. Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators.
11. Word problems involving fractions.
Timeline
The unit will start on November 19 and hopefully be completed prior to the Christmas break. Of course if I determine that the class needs more or less time I will adjust timing as required. This unit will not be finished in its entirety prior to the closure of the term for reporting, so there will be some reporting for this unit in term 2.
