partition a whole into equal parts and recognize of a fractional unit as a unit fraction.
Students compose non-unit fractions from unit fractions and use visual fraction models
and written fractions to represent parts of a whole. Students use fractions to represent
numbers equal to, less than, and greater than . They compare fractions by using visual
fraction models and by reasoning about the size of fractions that have the same
numerator or denominator. Students identify equivalent fractions, and they apply
fraction concepts by using rulers to measure to the nearest quarter inch and by
plotting fractional length data on line plots.

TOPIC A
Partition a Whole into Equal Parts
5 LESSONS
Students begin to formalize their understanding of fractions as numbers by
transitioning from recognizing fractional parts of geometric shapes to
partitioning and recognizing fractional parts of concrete objects and pictorial
models. They begin to understand fractions as numbers by naming the fractional
parts of the whole in unit form and describing the relationship between the

number of fractional parts and the size of each part. Students define of a
fractional unit as a unit fraction, identify the number of unit fractions needed to
make whole, and name unit fractions in fraction form.

5 LESSONS
Students iterate unit fractions to create non-unit fractions concretely, pictorially,
and numerically in unit form and fraction form. They compose and decompose
wholes with unit and non-unit fractions by using number bonds and tape
diagrams. After establishing that the fractions refer to the same whole, students
compare unit fractions and fractions with the same numerator concretely and
pictorially by reasoning about the size of the parts.

TOPIC C
Fractions on the Number Line
6 LESSONS
Students continue to formalize their understanding of fractions as numbers by
representing fractions from to on a number line. They partition number lines
with fraction tiles, and they compose and decompose whole by using strategies
similar to those used with number bonds and tape diagrams in topic B. Students
relate a fraction’s value to its size, its location on a number line, and its distance
from to find pairs of equivalent fractions. They generalize their understanding
of fractions on a number line to build a ruler that they use to measure lengths
within fractions of an inch and to create line plots representing fractional length
data.

TOPIC D
Comparing Fractions
5 LESSONS
Students extend a number line to include fractions greater than by drawing and
partitioning number lines that represent specified intervals. They count and skip-
count by fractional units to name fractions greater than and to recognize
fractions that are equivalent to whole numbers. They generalize their
understanding of location and distance on a number line to compare fractions.

TOPIC E
Equivalent Fractions
6 LESSONS
With a progression of strategies similar to those in earlier topics, students use
one or two number lines to find pairs of equivalent fractions greater than . They
identify fractions equivalent to whole numbers and express whole numbers as
fractions with a denominator of (e.g., ). The module culminates with two
lessons in which students apply what they have learned about fractions to new
problem situations: creating a ruler without other measurement tools and
completing a multi-part task.
