Numbers and Operations-Fractions
Understand a fraction, 1/𝑏, as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts (unit fraction); understand a fraction 𝑎/𝑏 as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/𝑏 . For example, 3/4 represents a quantity formed by 3 parts of size 1/4.

Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Show the data by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units: whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
Understand that shapes in different categories may share attributes and that the shared attributes can define a larger category. Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories
Partition shapes into parts with equal areas. Express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole. For example, partition a shape into 4 parts with equal area and describe the area of each part as 1/4 of the area of the shape.
