Next Math Unit - Fractions!

We are beginning a new unit in math - Fractions! This is often a challenging unit for students, but it is vitally important since a strong understanding of fractions assists students in better understanding other concepts such as decimals, percent, ratio, rates and probability.

In this unit, we will be learning about:


  • what a fraction is
  • equivalent fractions
  • mixed numbers and improper fractions
  • comparing an ordering mixed numbers and fractions (on a number line and otherwise)
  • Adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators
I have begun compiling some websites that can help students practice these concepts at home in a Blendspace unit. Here is the link:


After learning about fractions, we will be moving on to decimals, and from there working on percent, ratio, rates and probability.
