Grade 4 - Number
Standard 4.N.8 - Compare units of measurement using a recipe list.
Included Skills: Measurement
Demonstrate an understanding of fractions less than or equal to one by using concrete, pictorial and symbolic 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 given fraction, using a region, object or set. • Identify a fraction from its given concrete representation. • Name and record the shaded and non-shaded parts of a given set. • Name and record the shaded and non-shaded parts of a given whole region, object or set. • Represent a given fraction pictorially by shading parts of a given set. • Represent a given fraction pictorially by shading parts of a given whole region, object or set. • Explain how denominators can be used to compare two given unit fractions with a numerator of 1. • Order a given set of fractions that have the same numerator, and explain the ordering. • Order a given set of fractions that have the same denominator, and explain the ordering. • Identify which of the benchmarks 0, 1/2 or 1 is closer to a given fraction. • Name fractions between two given benchmarks on a number line. • Order a given set of fractions by placing them on a number line with given benchmarks. • Provide examples of when 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 Saskatoon berries is not equivalent to half of sixteen Saskatoon berries. • Provide, from everyday contexts, an example of a fraction that represents part of a set and an example of a fraction that represents part of a whole.
