U.S. National Curriculum Standards NM-NUM.3-5.1

  • Understand numbers, ways of representing numbers, relationships among numbers, and number systems.

U.S. National Curriculum Standards NM.-ALG.3-5.3

  • Use mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships.

Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations, Math v.12.05

  • Understand that fractions may represent a portion of a whole unit that has been partitioned into parts of equal area or length; use the terms “numerator” and “denominator.” (N.ME.03.16)
  • Understand that any fraction can be written as a sum of unit fractions, e.g. ¾ can be written 1/4+1/4+1/4. (N.ME.03.19)
  • Understand fractions as parts of a set of objects (N.ME.04.20)
  • Understand the relationships among halves, fourths and eighths and among thirds, sixths and twelfths. (N.MR.04.23)
  • Compare and order up to three fractions with denominators 2, 4, 8 and 3, 6, 12, including improper fractions and mixed numbers. (N.MR.04.26)
  • Add and subtract fractions less than 1 with denominators through 12 and/or 100,in cases where the denominators are equal or when one denominator is a multiple of the other. (N.MR.04.27)
  • Solve contextual problems involving sums and differences for fractions where one denominator is a multiple of the other (denominators 2 through 12 and 100). (N.MR.04.28)
  • Multiply fractions by whole numbers, using repeated addition and area or array models. (N.MR.04.30)
  • Understand a fraction as a statement of division...using simple fractions and pictures to represent. (N.ME.05.10)
  • Given two fractions...express them as fractions with a common denominator, but not necessarily a least common denominator; use denominators less than 12 or factors of 100. (N.ME.05.11)
  • Find the product of two unit fractions with small denominators using an area model. (N.ME.05.12)
  • Divide a fraction by a whole number and a whole number by a fraction, using simple unit fractions. (N.ME.05.13)
  • Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators through 12 and/or 100, using the common denominator that is a product of the denominators of the 2 fractions. (N.FL.05.14)
