This resource is to provide a Grade 3 Math assessment focused on Understanding Fractions through the real-world context of the American flag. It utilizes the flag's 13 stripes and 50 stars to teach students how to identify fractions of a set, represent fractions visually using bars, and apply critical thinking to compare fractions to 1/2.
Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.
