4.NF. Grade 4 - Number and Operations---Fractions

    4.NF.B. Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers.

      4.NF.B.3. Understand a fraction $a/b$ with $a > 1$ as a sum of fractions $1/b$.

        4.NF.B.3.b. Decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way, recording each decomposition by an equation. Justify decompositions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model. Examples: $\frac38 = \frac18 + \frac18 + \frac18$; $\frac38 = \frac18 + \frac28$; $2 \frac18 = 1 + 1 + \frac18 = \frac88 + \frac88 + \frac18.$

        4.NF.B.3.d. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole and having like denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.

      4.NF.B.4. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number.

        4.NF.B.4.a. Understand a fraction $a/b$ as a multiple of $1/b$. For example, use a visual fraction model to represent $5/4$ as the product $5 \times (1/4)$, recording the conclusion by the equation $5/4 = 5 \times (1/4).$

        4.NF.B.4.b. Understand a multiple of $a/b$ as a multiple of $1/b$, and use this understanding to multiply a fraction by a whole number. For example, use a visual fraction model to express $3 \times (2/5)$ as $6 \times (1/5)$, recognizing this product as $6/5$. (In general, $n \times (a/b) = (n \times a)/b.$)

        4.NF.B.4.c. Solve word problems involving multiplication of a fraction by a whole number, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, if each person at a party will eat 3/8 of a pound of roast beef, and there will be 5 people at the party, how many pounds of roast beef will be needed? Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie?

    4.NF.C. Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare decimal fractions.

      4.NF.C.7. Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols $>$, =, or $<$, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
