Mathematics
I can compare fractions with 1/2 and tell how close they are to 1.
Look: 2/6 and 1/2
- Rename 1/2 with the same denominator: 1/2 = 3/6.
- Compare: 2/6 < 3/6.
- So 2/6 is less than 1/2.
Circle where each fraction belongs.
- 1.
3/8
○ less than 1/2○ equal to 1/2○ between 1/2 and 1○ equal to 1 - 2.
2/4
○ less than 1/2○ equal to 1/2○ between 1/2 and 1○ equal to 1 - 3.
5/6
○ less than 1/2○ equal to 1/2○ between 1/2 and 1○ equal to 1 - 4.
1/3
○ less than 1/2○ equal to 1/2○ between 1/2 and 1○ equal to 1 - 5.
6/8
○ less than 1/2○ equal to 1/2○ between 1/2 and 1○ equal to 1 - 6.
4/4
○ less than 1/2○ equal to 1/2○ between 1/2 and 1○ equal to 1

Lena's Drawing
Lena held her drawing behind her back as she walked to the art table. When Ms. Ortiz pinned it on the wall, Lena's eyes went wide. She bounced on her toes all the way to lunch. Later, a boy bumped the wall, and the drawing tore. Lena's chin dropped. She smoothed the paper with both hands, very slowly.
