- A1
- demonstrate an understanding of simple fractional parts
- A2
- identify and describe factions and mixed numbers concretely, pictorially, and symbolically
- A3

Key ideas
A fraction names equal parts of a whole or a set.
The denominator tells how many equal parts; the numerator how many are counted.
Common shop fractions are halves, quarters, eighths, and sixteenths.
A mixed number combines a whole number and a fraction.
An improper fraction has a numerator larger than its denominator.
Watch out for
- Reading the numerator as the number of parts in the whole.
- Assuming parts are equal when they are not.
- Reading a mixed number's whole part as part of the numerator.

Roof pitch is the ratio of rise (height) to run (half the span).
Front-end estimation uses the leading digits first.
Watch out for
- Rounding after computing instead of before, for an estimate.
- Adding numerators and denominators straight across.
- Failing to regroup 12 inches into a foot.

If three measured sides satisfy that equation, the corner is square.
Resistors in parallel combine by the reciprocal rule.
A 3-4-5 triangle is the quick shop check for square.

- Using the theorem on a non-right triangle.
- Adding resistances straight across for parallel.
- Squaring only two of the three sides.
