Grade 4 - The Number System

Standard 4.NS.1.8 - Identify the fraction of an object in a word problem.

Included Skills:

Students will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of fractions less than or equal to 1 by using concrete, pictorial, and symbolic representations to
• name and record fractions for the parts of one 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
