End of Unit Competency and Language Supports

By the end of Topic 10 students will be able to explain how to describe a fraction using a unit fraction and how to multiply a fraction by a whole number. Language Functions & Features Describe data and/or steps to solve problems using: ●​ Mathematical terms ( unit fraction, model, whole number, symbols, equations, product, compute ) ●​ Visuals ( fraction stips, charts) to support approach, solution and/or extract information. ●​ Observations ( notice, it appears, looks like ) and comparative language ( more than, less than, equal to ) to share results ( eg. The model shows that… )

●​ Connectors to order steps ( first, next, last ) and indicate reasons ( because, so, that means, as a result ) ●​ Declarative statements to state conclusion (eg. This expression is equal to the product because… ) ●​ SKILLS VOCABULARY

MANIPULATIVES

●​ Multiplication and unit fractions ●​ Time problems

●​ unit fraction

●​ Fraction strips ●​ Clock face
