The standard
Represent a fraction as a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way, recording with an equation.
Element 4.NR.4.5 of Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards (2021, effective SY2023-24), in the Numerical Reasoning strand. It sits under standard 4.NR.4: Solve real-life problems involving addition, subtraction, equivalence, and comparison of fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100 using part-whole strategies and visual models.
What students practice
Students write a fraction as a sum in two different ways, with a bar to show the pieces, then do the same with mixed numbers past 1, where a whole can stay whole or break into unit fractions. Missing-part problems, a multiple-choice item, and a select-all item ask which sums are equal to the number.
Where to find it
Think: 5 tenths and 3 tenths are 8 tenths, so the sum is 8 tenths.
