Lesson 2.1: The Name of the Piece

The bottom number tells us how many pieces make a whole. It is the Namer.

1. If a pizza has 4 slices, the name is: (Fourths / Halves)
2. If a pie has 8 slices, the name is: (Eighths / Thirds)
3. If a bar has 3 parts, the name is: (Thirds / Tenths)
4. If a circle has 2 parts, the name is: (Halves / Fifths)
5. If a cake has 10 parts, the name is: (Tenths / Sixths)
6. Write the denominator for "Halves."
7. Write the denominator for "Fourths."
8. Write the denominator for "Thirds."
9. Write the denominator for "Eighths."
10. Write the denominator for "Tenths."

Lesson 2.2: The Inverse Rule (Big is Small)

Circle the BIGGER fraction. Remember: Small bottom = Big piece!

11. 1/2 or 1/4? 1/2 / 1/4
12. 1/3 or 1/10? 1/3 / 1/10
13. 1/8 or 1/5? 1/8 / 1/5
14. 1/100 or 1/2? 1/100 / 1/2
15. 1/6 or 1/4? 1/6 / 1/4
16. Draw 1/2 and 1/4 to prove which is bigger.
17. Would you rather have 1/2 a cookie or 1/10 a cookie?
18. Would you rather do 1/2 the chores or 1/10 the chores? (Careful!)
Truth Check: As the Denominator gets bigger, the piece gets ____________ (Bigger/Smaller).

Lesson 2.3: Sorting the Families

Put these fractions in order from LARGEST to SMALLEST.

19. 1/4, 1/2, 1/8
1. 2. 3.
20. 1/10, 1/3, 1/5
1. 2. 3.
21. 1/6, 1/2, 1/12
1. 2. 3.
22. 1/100, 1/1, 1/50
1. 2. 3.
23. 1/4, 1/3, 1/2
1. 2. 3.

Lesson 2.4: The Missing Piece (Completion)

How many pieces to make a whole? (Hint: Top = Bottom).

24. If the bottom is 4, how many pieces make a whole?
25. If the bottom is 8, how many pieces make a whole?
26. Circle the Whole: 1/2, 2/2, 3/2.
27. Circle the Whole: 3/4, 4/4, 1/4.
28. Circle the Whole: 10/10, 1/10, 9/10.
29. Draw 3/3 of a circle. (Is it full?)

Lesson 2.5: The Scribe's Challenge (Notation)

Write the fraction correctly.

30. One-Eighth.
31. One-Twelfth.
32. One-Twentieth.
33. One-Hundredth.
34. One-Thousandth.
35. Write the fraction for a Quarter.

Appendix A: The Great Sorting Game

Instructions: Cut out 10 strips of paper. Write a fraction on each one (1/2, 1/3, 1/4... 1/10). Shuffle them.

Challenge 1: Race to put them in order from Largest to Smallest.

Challenge 2: Pick two at random. Say which one is bigger.

Challenge 3: Find the "Neighbors." Which fraction lives next to 1/3? (1/2 and 1/4).

Record your fastest time here: ___________ seconds.

Appendix B: The Clock Face Fractions

The clock is a circle of 12. Use it to find these fractions.

1. Shade from 12 to 6. What fraction is this?
2. Shade from 12 to 3. What fraction is this?
3. Shade from 12 to 4. (Hint: It is 1/3). How many minutes?
