Expectations

  • 3.NR.4.1

    Describe a unit fraction and explain how multiple copies of a unit fraction form a non-unit fraction. Use parts of a whole, parts of a set, points on a number line, distances on a number line and area models.

  • 3.NR.4.2

    Compare two unit fractions by flexibly using a variety of tools and strategies.

  • 3.NR.4.3

    Represent fractions, including fractions greater than one, in multiple ways.

  • 3.NR.4.4

    Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions.

What mastery looks like

Georgia's Achievement Level Descriptors. The levels are cumulative: each includes the ones before it. Proficient is on grade level.

Beginning
Given a visual representation, identify a unit fraction and an equivalent fraction. Given a visual representation, compare two unit fractions within a contextual situation.
Developing
Given a visual representation, identify and describe a non-unit fraction as multiple copies of a unit fraction. Given a visual representation, compare two unit fractions and record the comparison using <, >, or =. Given a fraction, including fractions greater than one, represent the fraction with a visual representation. Given a visual representation, generate an equivalent fraction.
Proficient
Use multiple representations to identify and describe a non-unit fraction as multiple copies of a unit fraction. Compare two unit fractions and record the comparison using <, >, or =. Given a fraction, including fractions greater than one, represent the fraction in multiple ways. Generate equivalent fractions.
Distinguished
Solve complex or multi-step real-life problems by representing and comparing fractions and making connections between different representations.
