Vocabulary

Dear Family,

Today my class started the Fractions chapter. I will be learning to identify,

read, and write unit fractions and equivalent fractions. I will also be using

models to compare fractions. Here are my vocabulary words that I will be

using during my lessons.

p.s. Look on the back of this letter to find some quick practice tips that we can

do together in the car, along with an activity and books for us to read at home.

Love,

• Use construction paper to cut out 4 circles. • With a pencil or a marker, draw lines to divide the circle into equal parts. • Divide each circle into a different amount of equal parts.• After you have divided the circles, shade in as many areas as you choose on each circle. • Finally, on the back side

of the circle, record the fraction that represents the amount of shaded areas.

Travel TalkAsk about fractions when traveling. For example: “What fraction of the 10 cars in front of you are red?” Talk about the distance you have traveled or will travel. For example, “We are 1 _ 2 mile from home, what fraction tells us how far we have left to go?”

es menor que (<): Un símbolo para mostrar que el primer número es menor que el segundo.

Vocabulario

Estimada familia:

Hoy comenzamos en clase el capítulo Fracciones. Aprenderé a identificar, leer y

escribir fracciones unitarias y fracciones equivalentes. También usaré modelos

para comparar fracciones. Estas son las palabras de vocabulario que usaré

durante mis lecciones.

P.D.: En la parte de atrás de esta carta hay sugerencias prácticas que podemos

realizar juntos en el carro, así como una actividad y libros para leer en casa.

Cariñosamente,

• Usen cartulina para recortar 4 círculos. • Con un lápiz o un marcador, tracen líneas para dividir el círculo en partes iguales. • Dividan cada círculo en una cantidad diferente de partes iguales. • Después de que hayan dividido los

círculos, sombreen tantas áreas como quieran en cada círculo.

• Finalmente, en el lado de atrás del círculo, anoten la fracción que representa la cantidad de áreas sombreadas.
