This is a challenging fraction comparison problem. The fractions for this task have been carefully chosen to encourage and reward different methods of comparison.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will be introduced to addition, multiplication, and division of the benchmark fractions 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 with a fun, hands-on experience. Students will layer the dry ingredients for a brownie recipe into a canning jar while having a rich discussion that aides visualizing operations with fractions. This shared experience can be referred to during future instruction.

Lesson Standard(s): 6.NS.1 Compute and represent quotients of positive fractions using a variety of procedures (e.g., visual models, equations, and real- world situations). Process Standard (s):4: Connect mathematical ideas and real-world situations through modeling.b) Interpret mathematical models in the context of the situation.d) Evaluate the reasonableness of the model and refine if necessary.Lesson Objective(s):Students will exhibit their prior knowledge of dividing whole numbers using area models.After exploration through videos, manipulatives, and drawings, students will represent the quotient of a whole number divided by a fraction using area models.See attachments for lesson plan, PowerPoint presentation, and worksheet.

Material Type: Interactive
Match shapes and numbers to earn stars in this fractions game. Challenge yourself on any level you like. Try to collect lots of stars! The main topics of this interactive simulation include fractions, equivalent fractions, and mixed numbers.
Material Type: Simulation
Students must think about the factors of each number as they play this game. Students quickly learn the value of selecting prime numbers as a strategy. The beauty of the game design is that students will review the factors of many numbers and mentally add the sum of these factors together in search of the "best move."
Material Type: Game
In this task, the students are not asked to find an answer, but are asked to analyze word problems and explain their thinking. In the process, they are faced with varying ways of thinking about multiplication.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will explore the concepts of place value using their bodies as tools. They will time themselves performing various kinesthetic tasks like jumping jacks and sit ups and use the numbers that they record from these activities in their exploration. Working in groups, they will practice adding and subtracting and comparing numbers. They will also come up with creative ways to represent numbers using the properties of operation and the rules of place value.
Material Type: Activity/Lab, Teaching/Learning Strategy
Students will watch videos, complete online practice, and rotate through centers as they practice identifying place value and comparing place values using multiples of 10.

This resource is to be used by the teacher in a whole group instructional setting while teaching Place Value in a 4th grade classroom. This particular lesson is about writing numbers in standard and expanded form. There are links for student interaction using other websites at the end of the lesson.

In this 25-day module of Grade 4, students extend their work with whole numbers. They begin with large numbers using familiar units (hundreds and thousands) and develop their understanding of millions by building knowledge of the pattern of times ten in the base ten system on the place value chart (4.NBT.1). They recognize that each sequence of three digits is read as hundreds, tens, and ones followed by the naming of the corresponding base thousand unit (thousand, million, billion).
