Review: Fractions as Parts and Numbers
Name, locate, compare, and recognize equal fractional amounts of a whole.

Use the skills in a new task
Draw a pretend trail from 0 to 1 split into eight equal sections. A sign is at the end of the fourth section and another at the end of the sixth. Name both fractions, compare their distances from zero, and show why the first sign is also at one half. Use a matching strip to show the first four sections shaded.
Work on paper or in your own document. Explain the choices you made.
- Name positions 4/8 and 6/8.
- Count intervals from zero rather than counting the zero tick.
- State 4/8 < 6/8 for this same unit trail.
- Show four shaded of eight equal sections and explain 4/8 = 1/2.
Compare with a model response
The first sign is 4/8 of one unit from zero; the second is 6/8. Four eighths is less than six eighths. Four shaded parts and four unshaded parts make two equal amounts, so 4/8 is also 1/2.
A different response can also meet the criteria. Compare the evidence and reasoning, rather than copying the wording.
