Example — Vertical Plan
"Fractions, grades 3-5, Common Core"
Vertical Alignment: Fractions (Grades 3–5)
Grade 3 — Introduction to Fractions
Students understand fractions as parts of a whole. They identify and represent fractions (1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8) using visual models. Compare fractions with the same numerator or denominator. Place fractions on a number line. (3.NF.A.1, 3.NF.A.2, 3.NF.A.3)
Grade 4 — Equivalence & Operations
Students generate equivalent fractions and compare fractions with different denominators using benchmarks (1/2). Add and subtract fractions with like denominators. Multiply fractions by whole numbers. Convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions. (4.NF.A.1, 4.NF.B.3, 4.NF.B.4)
Grade 5 — Full Fraction Operations
Students add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators. Multiply fractions by fractions. Divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions. Solve real-world fraction problems. (5.NF.A.1, 5.NF.B.4, 5.NF.B.7)
Key Progression: Conceptual understanding (G3) → equivalence and like-denominator operations (G4) → unlike denominators and multiplication/division (G5).
