Math: MODULE 8: Time, Shapes and Fractions as Equal Parts of Shapes
In this final module of the year, students extend their
understanding of part-whole relationships through the lens of geometry. As
students compose and decompose shapes, they begin to develop an understanding
of unit fractions (fractions with one in the numerator) as equal parts of a
whole.
