We have been studying fractions the past couple of weeks, and are continuing this week.  This week students are going to:

1. Continue to compare fractions as greater than, less than, or equivalent

2. Find equivalent fractions on a number line

3.  Use pictures and number lines to generate equivalent fractions

4. Represent whole numbers as fractions

Here are websites for practice. Try these out. There are seven different activities that range from Kindergarten through middle school. Be sure read the directions!

We are studying fractions this week!  In third grade, students are expected to be able to:

1) show fractions and mixed numbers using words, numerals and pictures. 

2) compare and order commonly used fractions and mixed numbers using number lines, models, points of reference and equivalent forms. 

3) recognize and use decimals and fractions as ways of representing parts of a whole or set (e.g., 3/10 = 0.3 and both represent only 3 girls in a group of 10 students).
