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, 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.
