Grade 4 - Number

Standard 4.N.8 - Compare and sort fractions up to twentieths, arranging them in order from least to greatest or greatest to least.

Included Skills:

Demonstrate an understanding of fractions less than or equal to one by using concrete and pictorial representations to
• name and record fractions for the parts of a whole or a set
• compare and order fractions
• model and explain that for different wholes, two identical fractions may not represent the same quantity
• provide examples of where fractions are used

• Represent a fraction using concrete materials.
• Identify a fraction from its concrete representation.
• Name and record the shaded and non-shaded parts of a set.
• Name and record the shaded and non-shaded parts of a whole.
• Represent a fraction pictorially by shading parts of a set.
• Represent a fraction pictorially by shading parts of a whole.
• Explain how denominators can be used to compare two unit fractions.
• Order a set of fractions that have the same numerator, and explain the ordering.
• Order a set of fractions that have the same denominator, and explain the ordering.
• Identify which of the benchmarks 0, , or 1 is closest to a fraction.
• Name fractions between two benchmarks on a number line (horizontal or vertical).
• Order a set of fractions by placing them on a number line (horizontal or vertical) with benchmarks.
• Provide examples where two identical fractions may not represent the same quantity (e.g., half of a large apple is not equivalent to half of a small apple; half of ten berries is not equivalent to half of sixteen berries).
• Provide an example of a fraction that represents part of a set, and a fraction that represents part of a whole, from everyday contexts.
