Explainthat they are to compare each pair of fractionsusing their Comparing Fractions Toolkit strategies.Then have them look at page 55 of theirWorkSpace. Explain that they will fill in themissing number in each equation. Go through thefollowing example with them, and model with themagnetic fraction strips to show that ​ 2__ 4 ​ ​4__ 8 ​.Workspace page 55Show What You Knowdirections Fill in the missing number in each pair of equivalent fractions.You may use fraction pieces.1 1_ 23 1_ 45 2_ 4 _ 816 _ 416 _ 127 _ 24 8_ 169_ 3 1_ 262 3_ 44 3_ 86 1_ 28 2_ 8 _ 68 _ 616 _ 481_410 _ 38 6_ 16unit 711 3_ 4 12_1612 1_ 8 _ 216​ _ 2 4 ​ = _ ​4 8 ​13 Choose one pair of equivalent fractions on this page and explain how you knowwhich numerator or denominator belongs in the box.Answers will vary.UNIT 7 Lesson 1555Tell students that they may use their fractionpieces to complete the assessment pages.2 Students complete pages 54 and 55independently.Workspace page 543 Students play Uncover 1or Uncover 2.If students finish the assessment and if timeallows, they can play either Uncover 1 or Uncover 2,using either a red or a blue fraction cube.Remind students that the directions for Uncover 1can be found on WorkSpace page 42, andthe directions for Uncover 2 can be found onWorkSpace page 43.Show What You Knowdirections Write or . between each pair.unit 71 1_ 8.1_102 1_ 51_331_161_44 4_ 2.4_35 4_ 3.4_66 1_ 51_275_105_88 10_ 1210_89 1_ 7.1_9109_139_11111_121_10128_12.8_1613 Choose one pair of fractions on this page.
