Aligned Standard
M.EE.5.NF.2: Identify models of thirds (1/3, 2/3, 3/3) and tenths (1/10, 2/10, 3/10, 4/10, 5/10, 6/10, 7/10, 8/10, 9/10, 10/10).
Grade Level Standard
This is aligned with the following California State Standards:
- 5.NF.2 - Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. For example, recognize an incorrect result 2/5 + 1/2 = 3/7, by observing that 3/7 < 1/2.
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.
Proximal Precursor
Recognize an area model representing the fractions one third or one tenth when presented with three different area models.
Target
Recognize the area model that is divided into thirds or tenths when presented with three different area models.
Successor
Recognize the area model that represents a specified proper fraction.
