Curriculum

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.A.1

Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to ...
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.A.2

Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions ref...
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.B.3

Understand a fraction a/b with a > 1 as a sum of fractions 1/b.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.B.3.A

Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.B.3.B

Decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way, recording each decomposition by an equation. Justify decompositions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model. Examples: 3/8 = 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 ; 3/8 = 1/8 + 2/...
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.B.3.D

Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole and having like denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.

Math 4.3(A)

Represent a fraction a/b as a sum of fractions 1/b, where a and b are whole numbers and b > 0, including when a > b;
Math 4.3(B)

Decompose a fraction in more than one way into a sum of fractions with the same denominator using concrete and pictorial models and recording results with symbolic representations;
Math 4.3(C)

Determine if two given fractions are equivalent using a variety of methods;
Math 4.3(D)

Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators and represent the comparison using the symbols >, =, or
Math 4.3(E)

Represent and solve addition and subtraction of fractions with equal denominators using objects and pictorial models that build to the number line and properties of operations;
Math 4.3(F)

Evaluate the reasonableness of sums and differences of fractions using benchmark fractions 0, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1, referring to the same whole; and
Math 4.3(G)

Represent fractions and decimals to the tenths or hundredths as distances from zero on a number line.

Make Fractions for 4th Graders Fun With Partner Tasks!

Mastering fractions can be challenging for students, but it doesn’t have to be boring! Numerous innovative methods exist to make the fractions learning process enjoyable and captivating for students. Among these methods, partner games and activities are highly effective. Not only do they make learning fractions a fun activity, but they also encourage students to work in teams and interact socially with their peers.

Fraction Games and Tasks for Every Standard

This resource download includes partner games and activities to meet fourth-grade fraction standards. We’ve included a partner task for each of the following concepts:

Identify fractions greater than, less than, or equal to one whole.

Identify and match fractions with their equivalent fractions.

Partitioning and modeling fractions using a bar model.

Identifying the location of different fractions on a number line.

Comparing two fractions using <, >, =.

Ordering a series of three fractions using comparison symbols.

Classify fractions as unit fractions.

Decomposing fractions into equivalent number sentences.
Identifying the parts of a fraction needed for a given fraction to become one whole.

Each printable activity includes a single-page math task for students to complete with their partners, encouraging them to communicate and discuss their thinking about the given concepts. These activities only require a deck of fraction cards, also included in the download.
