International Jubilee Private School
Project Based Learning:
Hello Family Members!
For this term’s project will focus on “Fraction made Visual” for Grade 5. Fractions are important
because people use them every day in activities like cooking, carpentry, sports, sewing and driving. For
example, cooking involves using measurements of ingredients given in fractions, such as 1/2 cup flour, 1/2
teaspoon of sugar or 1/4 teaspoons of salt etc.
In construction or carpentry, precise measurements are important to build houses or cutting
lumber for home projects. Similarly, a driver needs to know what distances, such as a half-mile or
quarter-mile represent. In the high jump, the height jumped by competitors is given in fractions,
such as 3 1/2 feet.
Fractions are important in many other professions, such as for pharmacists and seamstresses. Its
also necessary for students to learn fractions so they can take higher order math courses like
algebra, where the topic of rational expressions involves adding and subtracting expressions in
fraction form.
Students work will be displayed for you all to see.
Big Idea:
A fraction has a numerator and a denominator. The
denominator tells how many equal parts the whole is
divided into and the numerator tells how many parts
there are.
2. Fractions can mean different things and be modeled in
different ways: part of a set, part of a region, as a
measure, division & as a ratio
