Math Parent Letter

This document is created to give parents and students a better

understanding of the math concepts found in Eureka Math (©

2013 Common Core, Inc.) that is also posted as the Engage New

York material which is taught in the classroom. Grade 5 Module 3

of Eureka Math (Engage New York) covers Addition and

Subtraction of Fractions. This newsletter will address making

equivalent fractions.

Topic A. Equivalent Fractions

Words to know

 Equivalent Fractions  Numerator

 Vertically  Denominator

 Horizontally  Expression

Things to Remember:

 Equivalent Fraction – fractions that have the same value, even

though they many look differently. Example:

and

 Numerator – A number written above the line in a common

fraction to indicate the number of parts of the whole

 Denominator – The number below the line in a fraction,

indicating the number of equal parts into which one whole is

divided.

 Vertically –

 Horizontally –

To find fractions equivalent to

, draw three vertical lines in each

rectangle creating four parts. Shade in two section to create the

fraction

. Now partition with horizontal lines to show the

equivalent fractions

.

Show the expression on a number line then solve.

Express the fraction as the sum of two or three equal fractional parts. Rewrite each as a multiplication equation.

OR

Express each of the following as the sum of a whole number and a fraction.

Rachel cut six equal lengths of yarn. Each piece was 4 sevenths of a foot long. How many feet of yarn did she cut? Express your

answer as the sum of a whole number and the remaining fractional part.
