Students will describe, represent, or apply numbers or their relationships or will estimate or compute using technology.
Indicator

* 2. Apply knowledge of fractions and decimals

Objectives

1. Read, write, and represent proper fractions of a single region using symbols, words, and models
2. Read, write, or represent proper fractions of a set which has the same number of items as the denominator using symbols, words, and models
3. Find equivalent fractions
7. Compare and order fractions and mixed numbers with or without using the symbols (<, >, or =)
