What is a unit fraction, 1/a, and why is it important? How do multiplicative thinking and equivalence influence fraction operations? We’ll discuss the standards for teaching fractions and ratios across grades, with lesson examples consistent with the mathematical practices to develop deep understanding, and we’ll discuss the effects on higher math.
