Time for Recess

Description:

After an in-depth unit of study involving multiplication of fractions through modeling and use of the standard algorithm, students will complete three real-world problems to demonstrate an understanding of interpreting a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator and multiplying fractions using an area model and the standard algorithm.

Number and Operations—Fractions

Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions.

Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (a/b = a ÷ b). Solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to answers in the form of fractions or mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.

Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

Interpret the product (a/b) × q as a parts of a partition of q into b equal parts; equivalently, as the result of a sequence of operations a × q ÷ b.

Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

Find the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths by tiling it with unit squares of the appropriate unit fraction side lengths, and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths. Multiply fractional side lengths to find areas of rectangles, and represent fraction products as rectangular areas.
