Students partition a number line into equal parts and locate unit fractions and other fractions between 0 and 1.

Students extend the number line beyond 1 and locate fractions greater than 1 by counting unit fraction intervals.

Students use area models and number lines to recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions.

Students explain fraction equivalence by reasoning about the size and number of equal parts in visual models.

Students compare fractions that share a denominator by reasoning about the number of equal parts.

Students compare fractions that share a numerator by reasoning about the size of the parts and use comparison symbols to record results.
