Let’s Learn Together!

3rdGrade Parents,

This learning bundle provides your child an opportunity to practice their

understanding of fractions. Partitioning was introduced indirectly; please ask your

teacher for help if you do not understand.

Your child will identify parts of a whole and write the fraction that it shows, and

then practice shading regions to represent fractions and identifying fractions.

Finally, your child will use the fractions that you learned these past two weeks and solve story problems.

Game board pieces and paper

manipulatives may be used again in future learning bundles. Please be sure to keep

them in a safe spot.

MY CHILD CHOSE THE

FOLLOWING 4

Fraction Partitioning Resource Page

A fraction is a NUMBER.

One meaning for a fraction is a number that represents a part of the whole.

When a whole is partitioned or divided into equal parts (“fair sharing”), the fraction

compares parts to the whole.

When a fraction is used to describe part of a region, the whole needs to be divided into

equal parts. Each model below is divided into equal parts.

Halves- 2 equal parts Fourths- 4 equal parts Eighths- 8 equal parts

Thirds- 3 equal parts Sixths- 6 equal parts

These are NOT equal parts.

There are 2 equal parts

that make the whole.

There are 4 equal parts

that make the whole.

There are 8 equal parts

that make the whole.

There are 3 equal parts

that make the whole.

There are 6 equal parts

that make the whole.

The Product Game Directions

How to Play

The Product Game is played by two players on a printable game board like the one shown below. The main

section of the board is a square grid of all the products that you can get by multiplying the numbers from 1 to

9. The goal of the game is to color in four squares in a row, either vertically, horizontally or diagonally.

Along the bottom of the paper is a row of the factors from 1 to 9.

Quick vocabulary recap: two factors multiply to equal a product. So in the problem 4*5 = 20, the numbers 4

and 5 are the factors and 20 is the product.

Player 1 places a token on any of the factors, but colors in nothing. Then Player 2 places a second token on

any of the factors and colors in the product that you get when those two factors are multiplied.

Now it's Player 1's turn. She can move either of the tokens, but not both. So if the first two tokens were

placed on 4 and 5, Player 2 got to color in the 20 square. Now Player 1 could, for example, move the 4 token

to 7 so that she multiplies 7 by 5 to get 35.

This restriction makes the game particularly fun and strategic. You can't just move anywhere, since your

options are constrained by your opponent's previous move. At the same time, you have the ability to constrain

your opponent's options! Don't want him to color in 15? Just make sure you never play any 3s or 5s. Although

that might be harder than you think...

The DENOMINATOR is the same because a denominator shows the total

number of equal parts in the whole.

In the pizza, there are 6 equal parts. We can write the whole as 6

6

Activity 3

Use the figure below to answer the questions.

1. How many equal parts are in the whole? __________________

2. What is the unit fraction for each piece? ___________________

3. How many copies of 𝟏

𝟖 (shaded part, the numerator) are there? ________________

4. How do you write the fraction for the shaded part? ______________

5. How do you write the whole _____/______.

MUST DO 4. 6- Show What You Know- The Whole

Today you will review fractions of a region and develop a deeper understanding of

the whole.

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to…

Identify the whole when given some parts.

Shade parts of a whole when given the fractional part

Activity 2- Main Lesson- How can you use a fractional part to find the whole? Think about

this question as we work through the lesson.

Jordyn and Chase are running a race. What do you notice about the

distances they raced?

You can look at the fraction to see how many parts make up the whole.

How many 1

6 make the whole? How many lengths of 1/6 make the whole?

Hint: Go back and review yesterday’s lesson when we talked about the

denominator in Activity 3.

Select your answer below.

A. 1

B. 3

C. 5

D. 6

What do you need in order to draw the whole?

You need six copies of each 1

6. The whole for each person would not

look the same. Look at the length of the lines. The tracks are

different sizes.

What fraction is 1 whole equal to in this problem?

The wholes are the same 6/6, but the size of Jordyn’s whole would be smaller than

Chase’s because the tracks were not the same size. If you were drawing rectangles for

the model of the track, Jordyn’s rectangle would have to be smaller than the one you

drew for Chase.
