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.
