Aligned Standard

M.EE.5.NF.1: Identify models of halves (1/2, 2/2) and fourths (1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4).

Grade Level Standard

This is aligned with the following California State Standards:

  • 5.NF.1 - Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)

Linkage Level Descriptions

Initial Precursor

Communicate understanding of separateness by recognizing objects that are not joined together. Communicate generic understanding of some as a certain amount or a number of people or things.

Distal Precursor

Divide familiar shapes, such as circles, squares, and/or rectangles, into two or more equal parts. Divide a set with up to 10 objects into two or more equal subsets.

Proximal Precursor

Identify the area model that represents one half or one fourth of a familiar shape or object. Identify the set model that represents one half or one fourth of a set of objects.

Target

Identify the area model that is divided into halves or fourths. Identify the set model that is divided into halves or fourths.

Successor

Identify the area model that represents a given specified proper fraction (e.g., 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/7). Identify the set model that represents a given specified proper fraction (e.g., 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/7).
