[L1] Water on the Run: Understanding Fractions in Marathons
Practice
Lesson 1 to practice identifying and comparing fractions by analyzing water station placements in marathons. CC Standard: 3.NF.A.3.d: Compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model. Practice Lesson 1 Context: Marathon fractions and water stations Graphs: Number line Number of questions: 15 Difficulty level: Easy Estimated time: 15 mins
Water on the Run: Understanding Fractions in Marathons Marathons are long races with water stations placed along the route. To do this fairly, marathon organizers divide it into equal segments and place one water station in each segment. Let’s explore these races and compare how the fractions show the race divisions.
