Determine if two fractions are equivalent using a variety of methods.
The intent of 4.3C is to move students from guided examples to independent work with Equivalent fractions.
Teachers can use 4.3C to sequence instruction on Equivalent fractions and monitor progress toward mastery.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 4.3C.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 4.3C.
Standard 4.3C describes the essential skills and understandings for Equivalent fractions in Grade 4. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Equivalent fractions, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
