Format: lesson plan (grade 3)
Fractional Parts with Pattern Blocks
Through this lesson students will undersand that fractions are part of a whole. Students will identify halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, eights of a whole. They will use terms numerator, denominator and write fractions from models of fractions. Also, they will use sheets of paper to fold for different size fractions and label each part to see proportion size from least to greatest or greatest to least.

PIZZA = "Fractions: Any Way You Slice It!"
During this lesson, students will explore and investigate the relationships among fractions. Students will use paper pizzas divided into fractional parts to compare equivalent fractions. They will see part-whole fractions as fair shares and begin to understand that the parts must be equal.

Another look at the set model using attribute pieces
In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students work with sets in which the objects look different based on the idea that objects in the set are not the same size and shape. Students also use fractions to describe a set of attribute pieces.
