This is a progressive unit of instruction beginning with students investigating the concrete area model of fraction equivalence
and ordering. Students progress through the concrete, representational and abstract model of understanding within the
lessons. The unit progresses to decimal understanding relating to money and fractional representation. Once your students
have a solid understanding of fraction and decimal equivalence, they are ready to add, subtract and finally multiply fractions.
(whole times a fraction) Those lessons also begin with concrete, move to representational and finally the abstract.
