Lesson Opener
Making Connections
Invite students to talk about kites. Ask them the following questions.
Vocabulary
fraction, unit fraction
Go to Multimedia eGlossary at
thinkcentral.com
Have you ever flown a kite? How many kites have you ever seen in the sky at the same
time? What did the most interesting kite you have ever seen look like?
Using the Digital Lesson
You can use the lesson opener to explain to students parts of a whole. Point out, or ask
students to identify, one group of objects in the sky in the lesson opener. Ask students
what objects on the ceiling and walls of the classroom could be grouped together. Point
out to students one group of objects on the ground in the lesson opener. Ask students
what objects on the tables, counters, and floor of the classroom could be grouped
together. Ask students what one kite or one gopher hole represents.
Resources
Learning Task
Direct students’ attention to the group of kites in the sky.
• How many kites does Doc see flying? (4)
• What is the whole in this problem? (the number of kites)
• How would you tell someone that 1 of the kites is blue using the word fourth?
(One fourth of the kites is blue.)
Literacy and Mathematics
You may choose the following activity.
Invite students to draw a picture of the kites. Have them color or label the kites to
show how many are red, blue, and green. Alternately, have students use connecting
cubes to represent the kites in the problem: 1 green, 1 blue, and 2 red.

Essential Question
What do the top and bottom numbers of a fraction tell?
A fraction is a number that names part of a whole or part of a group.
In a fraction, the top number tells how
many equal parts are being counted.
Example 1

6
Find part of a whole.
The bottom number tells how many equal
parts are in the whole or in the group.
Read the information with students. Point out that
the “Read” part is in word form and the “Write”
part is in number form.
A unit fraction names 1 equal part of a whole. It has 1 as its top number.

Strategy: Identify Patterns
• Students identify patterns in language to help communicate about
fractions.
• Help students find patterns between cardinal numbers, which tell
about quantity, and unit fractions.
• As students work through problems, prompt them
to identify these patterns: four/fourth; six/sixth;
eight/eighth, etc.
• Point out that these numbers don’t follow the
pattern: two/half, three/third.
