Number & Operators (fractions & fraction equivalents) Teacher Information. . . Grade 3 MATH: Oregon Department of Education Standards for Practice or Progress Monitoring. This booklet will focus on ONLY the items in Bold Black [3.1.1 & 3.1.2] . Number & Operators (fractions & fraction equivalents) 3.1.1. Represent common fractions (e.g., halves, thirds, fourths, tenths) as equal parts of a whole, parts of a set, or points or distances on a number line. 3.1.2 Recognize and demonstrate that sizes of fractional parts are relative to the size of the whole. Book #1 Current Standards: This booklet will focus ONLY on the items in Bold Black [3.1.1 & 3.1.2] in the below table. Teachers: To assure that the above standards are understood, always remind, ask and show your students: Fractions are equal parts of a whole. Fractions show parts of a set. Fractions as points or distance on a number line. What are fractions? How do fractions get their names? In what ways can you represent (show) a fraction? Computation & Estimation (CE) / Number Operations 3.1 Most questions for grade 3 OAKS in Numbers & Operations (fractions & fraction equivalents) ask students to show how; what fraction is shaded, locating whole numbers and common fractions on a number line and ordering fractions from least to greatest and what fraction of a whole is left after part is removed. 3.1.1 Represent common fractions (e.g., halves, thirds, fourths, tenths) as equal parts of a whole, parts of a set, or points or distances on a number line. 3.1.2 Recognize and demonstrate that sizes of fractional parts are relative to the size of the whole. 3.1.3 Use Fractions to represent numbers that are equal to, less than, or greater than one. 3.1.4 Solve problems that involve comparing and ordering fractions by using models, benchmarks, (0, 1/2 and 1) or common numerators or denominators.
