3.1 Number and Operations: Develop an understanding of fractions and fraction equivalence.

                                     

                                    3.1.1 Represent common fractions (e.g., halves, thirds, fourths, tenths) as

equal parts of a whole, parts of a set, or points or distances on a

number line.

                                    3.1.2 Recognize and demonstrate that sizes of fractional parts are relative

to the size of the whole. 

                                    3.1.3 Use fractions to represent numbers that are equal to, less than, or

greater than one.

                                    3.1.4 Solve problems that involve comparing and ordering fractions by

using models, benchmarks (0, 1/2, 1), or common numerators or

denominators.

                                    3.1.5 Identify equivalent fractions using models, including the number line. 3.1.6 Add common fractions with like denominators.
