Fractions: Booklet 4
Fractions: Booklet 4
Fractions: Booklet 4 – Equivalent Fractions from Pattern Press is a hands-on curriculum resource designed to help students develop a deep conceptual understanding of equivalent fractions through manipulatives, visual models, drawings, and discovery-based learning.
This complete booklet set includes a 52-page Parent/Teacher Guide and a 37-page Student Workbook that guide students through the relationships between fractions using concrete exploration before moving into representational and calculation-based work. Developed through the Patterns in Arithmetic approach, students learn why fractions are equivalent rather than simply memorizing procedures.
The curriculum begins with manipulatives and visual fraction models, then gradually transitions students into drawings, recording, and symbolic fraction calculations. Through this process, students discover how equivalent fractions are created and how they connect to multiplication patterns and number relationships.
The Parent/Teacher Guide includes teaching instructions, sample dialogues, games, lesson support, and the Answer Key. The Student Workbook includes worksheets and practice pages designed to reinforce understanding through active learning and mathematical exploration.
