Unit 2: Working with Fractions



Mathematics Background

What Are the Big Ideas?

• Equivalent fractions name the same number using different
denominators.
• Algorithms for adding and subtracting fractions require common
denominators.
• Estimation strategies for fractions focus on benchmarks such as one-
half and one whole.
• A fraction is an indicated division, and this can be used to find a
decimal representation.
• As for repeated addition of a whole number, repeated addition of a
fraction can be represented as multiplication of the fraction by a whole
number.
