Fraction+Times


 * __Overview:__** This unit builds on the models, skills, and concepts that were developed in the unit Models to Count On. The unit focuses on the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percents. Students will learn to add and subtract fractions using various models and multiply fractions using informal methods.


 * __Development by section:__**
 * //Section A//**: Students use pie charts and segmented fraction bars to compare different size classes. This helps them develop strategies for comparing fractions with unlike denominators. Similar strategies are used to add and subtract fractions.


 * //Section B://** Students use segmented bars, non-segmented bars and ratio tables to add and subtract fractions.


 * //Section C//**: Students use their knowledge of benchmark fractions, money, and decimals to solve problems. They develop methods for converting fractions to decimals and develop strategies to add and multiply decimals.


 * //Section D://** Students develop their understanding of percent by reconnecting to their surveys from Section A. Percents are used to describe the portions of the class and portions of other surveys. Additional strategies for making conversions between fractions and percents are introduced.


 * //Section E://** Students develop strategies to informally multiply fractions using segmented and non-segmented bars.
