    Mathematics

    I can use models to decide if two fractions are equivalent.

    Look: 1/4 and 2/6

    1. Use the fraction wall or stacked number lines.
    2. Check if both lengths end at the same place.
    3. 1/4 ends before 2/6, so 1/4 ≠ 2/6.

    Write = or ≠. Use strips or number lines to check.

    1. 1.

      2/4 ___ 4/8

      ○ =○ ≠
    2. 2.

      1/3 ___ 2/8

      ○ =○ ≠
    3. 3.

      4/6 ___ 6/8

      ○ =○ ≠
    4. 4.

      2/8 ___ 1/4

      ○ =○ ≠
    5. 5.

      3/6 ___ 4/8

      ○ =○ ≠
    6. 6.

      1/6 ___ 1/8

      ○ =○ ≠

    Solve.

    1. 7.

      Rosa says 2/3 and 2/4 are equal because both have 2 on top. Is she right? Why?

    Challenge: Write a pair of fractions that are not equivalent and draw a model to prove it.

    Science

    I can describe how hurricanes form and how people prepare.

    Storms That Spin

    A hurricane is a huge spinning storm. It forms over warm ocean water, which gives it energy. In the middle is a calm, clear center called the eye. Around the eye are the strongest winds and heavy rain. A hurricane can push ocean water onto the shore. This is called storm surge. Forecasters can watch a hurricane for days, so families have time to get ready and follow the plan.

    Read the box. Then answer.

    1. 1.

      Where do hurricanes form?

    2. 2.

      What is the eye of a hurricane?

    3. 3.

      Name two dangers a hurricane can bring.

    4. 4.

      Why does a hurricane get weaker over land?

    Hurricane Map and Model. Draw a pretend hurricane path from warm ocean water toward a coast.

    1. 5.

      Draw the path with arrows. Mark an X where it weakens over land.

    2. 6.

      Name one thing a coastal family does when a hurricane is forecast.
