Clip 5/8: Standard 8: Look for & Express Regularity in Repeated Reasoning Using Fractions Part 7
Overview
Mathematically proficient students notice if calculations are repeated, and look both for general methods and for shortcuts.
Michelle Kious works with her 5th grade students on understanding multiple representations of mixed numbers. In this clip, her students engage in a final reflection on the lesson, and one observes that the day’s focus, using line segments to understand fractions and mixed numbers is similar to (but more challenging to this particular student) using an area model to represent fractions and mixed numbers.
