Multiplication and Division of Whole Numbers and Fractions {5.3I 5.3J 5.3L 5.4F}

Teaching your students to multiply and divide whole numbers by fractions can be tough, but this complete 5th grade unit makes it easy! This resource will help you teach your students how to multiply a whole number by a fraction and a fraction by a whole number. Students represent their learning using area models, strip diagrams, number lines, ratio tables and pictorial models to gain an understanding of multiplication with fractions. Students also learn about dividing a whole number by a unit fraction and a unit fraction by a whole number. Understanding the process of these operations is a focus. Students generalize what is happening with the numerator and denominator to help them understand the concept of the reciprocal. Students use estimation (compatible numbers) to help them solve problems that aren’t very friendly! They also add multiplication and division of fractions to order of operations.

Each TEK standard-- 3.4K, 3.5D, and 3.4H-- is broken down into Learning Targets to make it easier to track student progress. There are 5 skills in this unit! Each learning target contains intervention and enrichment skills. Both student and teacher data sheets are included to track growth and make small group instruction easier.

THIS RESOURCE INCLUDES:

• Daily objectives, learning targets, and materials.
• Whole class teaching activities with guided math activities.
• Closure with an exit ticket and answer key for most days.
• Mini Lessons: Connection, Teaching Point, Active Engagement, Link to Ongoing Learning, Games, Math Huddle
