s, Modifications

Students will be able to use a number-line model for

fractions with 100% accuracy.

Formative Assessment:
Ask students to describe how to draw a number line
with fractions and mixed number and how to use a
number line to compare fractions and mixed numbers.
Students should also be able to describe how a number
line with benchmarks can be used to compare fractions
and whole numbers.
Creativity and innovation
Research and information fluency
Communication and collaboration
Critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making

If students have difficulty comparing time using

fractions, allow them to first convert the times to
minutes. Give students additional time problems to
solve.
