Description

This is an awesome lesson that introduces your 4th and 5th grade learners to the concept of multiplying fractions, or it can serve as a great review before you jump into dividing fractions (great review for 6th and 7th graders that struggle with multiplying fractions).

PowerPoint:

The engaging, easy-to-understand, 18-slide PowerPoint will walk learners through:

-Basic terminology

-Converting Fractions (improper to mixed and back)

-Multiplying proper fractions

-Multiplying mixed numbers

*and introduces “cross-cancelling” as a great simplifying method (KIDS REALLY LOVE THIS!)

The PowerPoint is loaded with practice problems for guided practice.

Please note! Overlapped text in “edit” mode will not appear overlapped in “play” mode.

Resources:

-5 engaging and challenging practice pages including a fun decoder puzzle and real world problem solving

-Bonus pack of 3 differentiated multiplying fractions practice pages (basic to challenging) and 2 differentiated quizzes

-One page notes/anchor chart

-Answer Keys provided for all materials

CCSS4.NF.B.4a

Understand a fraction 𝘢/𝘣 as a multiple of 1/𝘣. For example, use a visual fraction model to represent 5/4 as the product 5 × (1/4), recording the conclusion by the equation 5/4 = 5 × (1/4).

CCSS4.NF.B.4b

Understand a multiple of 𝘢/𝘣 as a multiple of 1/𝘣, and use this understanding to multiply a fraction by a whole number. For example, use a visual fraction model to express 3 × (2/5) as 6 × (1/5), recognizing this product as 6/5. (In general, 𝘯 × (𝘢/𝘣) = (𝘯 × 𝘢)/𝘣.)

CCSS4.NF.B.4c

Solve word problems involving multiplication of a fraction by a whole number, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, if each person at a party will eat 3/8 of a pound of roast beef, and there will be 5 people at the party, how many pounds of roast beef will be needed? Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie?

CCSS5.NF.B.4

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

CCSS5.NF.B.4a

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. For example, use a visual fraction model to show (2/3) × 4 = 8/3, and create a story context for this equation. Do the same with (2/3) × (4/5) = 8/15. (In general, (𝘢/𝘣) × (𝘤/𝘥) = 𝘢𝘤/𝘣𝘥.)
