one_half.PNGThis image shows a number line with the intervals zero through four marked. One-half is marked between the zero and one.
This number line task has students reason about which fractional distance is farther.
This task gives students the opportunity to reason about equivalent fractions. Students use images to develop an accurate claim and describe their thinking through reasoning.
This task gives students the opportunity to reason about equivalent fractions. Students use images to develop an accurate claim and describe their thinking through reasoning.
A math task on Sub Claim C: Concrete Referents. Students are using a provided image to compare fractions of the same sized whole and then compare. Students explain how they know which fraction is the greatest.
This task provides students practice with flawed reasoning using fraction comparisons.
This image shows two number lines of different lengths. The longer number line is partitioned into fourths with one-fourth labeled. The shorter number line is partitioned into halves with one-half labeled. The zero is at the same point and one-half and one-fourth are at the same point on both number lines.
This flawed reasoning task provides practice for students to understand the size of the wholes must be equal in order to compare fractions.

This resource houses links to a variety of sample math tasks aligned to the Common Core standard. Sources may include but are not limited to: Illustrative Mathematics, PARCC, Khan Academy, and the Illinois State Board of Education.
This task is focused on Common Core Standards 3.OA.3 Students are applying understanding of multiplication concepts to solve a multi-step word problem related to a real life context. This is a good beginning task to help students show all their work using equations to represent the solution path for the task. It also helps students focus on precision as they need to represent the problem with the correct equations.
