Essential Questions:

What happens to a fraction when you multiply it

by a whole number?

What do the values of the numerator and

denominator tell you about the value of a

fraction?

Prerequisites: Whole Numbers

Addition

Subtraction

Factors

Multiplication

Division

Goal:

Students will 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. Also,

students will 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.

Understand Multiplication

Distributive Property

The Distributive Property states that when you multiply the sum of two or more addends by a factor, the product is the

same as if you multiplied each addend by the factor and then added the partial products. The Distributive Property is

illustrated below graphically, arithmetically, and algebraically. At this time, students do not need to know the algebraic

explanation of the Distributive Property.

To find the total number of squares, you can multiply 3 × (2 + 6) or you can add (3 × 2) and (3 × 6).

arithmetically

3 × (2 + 6) = (3 × 2) + (3 × 6)

3 × 8 = 6 +18

24 = 24

algebraically

a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)

Multiplication by a One-Digit Number

One way to multiply a number by a one-digit number is to multiply the value of each digit by that one-digit number and

then find the sum of the partial products. The traditional multiplication algorithm for multiplying by a one-digit number has

the product written in place with necessary regrouping recorded above the number being multiplied.

Examples:

The above example shows how the Distributive Property applies to the multiplication algorithm. 546 × 7 = (500 × 7) + (40

× 7) + (6 × 7) Emphasize that the traditional algorithm starts by multiplying in the ones place and that makes recording

and regrouping of the product easier. Students sometimes find it difficult to multiply numbers with internal zeros, such as

302 or 10,809, and may need extra practice with such examples.

To multiply money amounts by a one-digit number, students multiply as if the numbers were whole numbers. They place

the decimal point so the answer is given in dollars and cents.

Multiplication Patterns

Patterns can be used when multiplying multiples of 10.

8 × 7 = 56

80 × 7 = 560

Page 4 of 35

800 × 7 = 5,600

8,000 × 7 = 56,000

80 × 70 = 5,600

800 × 700 = 560,000

Think: (8 × 7) × 10

Think: (8 × 7) × 100

Think: (8 × 7) × 1,000

Think: (8 × 7) × (10 × 10)

Think: (8 × 7) × (100 × 100)

In each example, the number of zeros in the product is the same as the sum of the number of zeros in each factor.

Multiplication by a Two-Digit Number

To solve problems such as 392 × 50, students can use patterns and what they know about multiplication by 1-digit

numbers to find (392 × 5) × 10.

The algorithm for multiplying by a two-digit number simply extends the algorithm for multiplying by a one-digit number.

The Distributive Property can be used to show the multiplication.

Estimation can be used to check that the answer to a multiplication problem is reasonable. Students round each factor to

a multiple of 10 that has only one nonzero digit. Then they use mental math to recall the basic fact product and patterns to

determine the correct number of zeros in the estimate.

Understand Fractions

Fractions

Fractions are numbers that are needed to solve certain kinds of division problems. Much as the subtraction problem

3 − 5 = −2

creates a need for numbers that are not positive, certain division problems create a need for numbers that are not

integers. For example, fractions allow the solution to 17 ÷ 3 to be written as

17 ÷ 3 = .

When a and b are integers and b ≠ 0, then the solution to the division problem a ÷ b can be expressed as a fraction, .

At this grade level, students should learn to identify fractions with models that convey their properties. Proper fractions

can be modeled in terms of a part of a whole. The whole may be a group consisting of n objects where part of the group

consists of k objects and k < n. The fraction can be modeled as follows.

Equivalently, the whole may consist of a region that is divided into n congruent parts, k of which belong to a subregion.

For example, the fraction can be identified as the shaded part of the region below.

A unit fraction is a fraction with a numerator of 1 (for example, , , , ). The definition of a unit fraction, , is to take one

unit and divide it into n equal parts. One of these smaller parts is the amount represented by the unit fraction. On the

number line, the unit fraction represents the length of a segment when a unit interval on the number line is divided into n

equal segments. The point located to the right of 0 on the number line at a distance from 0 will be .

The fraction can represent the quotient of m and n, or m ÷ n. If the fraction is defined in terms of the unit fraction ,

the fraction means m unit fractions . In terms of distance along the number line, the fraction means the length of m

abutting segments each of length . The point is located to the right of 0 at a distance m × from 0. The numerator of

the fraction tells how many segments. The denominator tells the size of each segment.

Page 6 of 35

A straightforward way to show that fractions represent a solution to a division problem is by using equivalent fractions.

What is 35 ÷ 7? It is 5 because 35 equals 7 × 5. What is 5 ÷ 7? This is more difficult because 5 is not a multiple of 7.

However, 5 = = 5 × × 7 = , and equals 35 unit fractions of . Just as 35 divided by 7 is 5, 35 unit fractions of

divided by 7 is 5 unit fractions of . So 5 ÷ 7 = .

Finding a Fractional Part of a Number

The word of is often used to pose problems involving the multiplication of a whole number by a fraction. At this level,

students have not yet learned to multiply fractions. The problem of finding of 6 can be modeled in terms of a group of 6

objects that has been separated into 3 smaller groups, each of which has 2 objects.

Equivalent Fractions

Two fractions and are equivalent if there exists a number m such that m × × b = . For example, the fact that 2 ×

× 4 = implies that is equivalent to .

Geometrically, this concept can be conveyed in terms of a picture in which there are two ways of representing the same

part of the whole. The fact that is equivalent to can be shown as follows.

Because equivalent fractions represent the same number, they are referred to as equal.

A fraction is in simplest form if the numerators and denominators are as small as possible. A more formal way of stating

this is to say that in a simplest form fraction, the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.

Teaching Tips

Fractions TeachingTip1

Focus on the understanding of fractions and fraction models to represent the addition and subtraction of fractions with unlike denominators as equivalent calculations with like denominators. Develop fluency in calculating sums and differences of fractions, and make reasonable estimates of them. Also, use the meaning of fractions, of multiplication and division, and the relationship between multiplication and division to understand and explain why the procedures for multiplying and dividing fractions make sense. (Note: this is limited to the case of dividing unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions.)

Division TeachingTip2

Develop understanding of why division procedures work based on the meaning of base-ten numerals and properties of operations. Students use the relationship between decimals and fractions, as well as the relationship between finite decimals and whole numbers (i.e., a finite decimal multiplied by an appropriate power of 10 is a whole number), to understand and explain why the procedures for multiplying and dividing finite decimals make sense. They compute products and quotients of decimals to hundredths efficiently and accurately.

What do I Focus On? TeachingTip3

Instructional time should focus on three critical areas: (1) developing fluency with addition and subtraction of fractions, and developing understanding of the multiplication of fractions and of division of fractions in limited cases (unit fractions divided by whole numbers and whole numbers divided by unit fractions); (2) extending division to 2-digit divisors, integrating decimal fractions into the place value system and developing understanding of operations with decimals to hundredths, and developing fluency with whole number and decimal operations; and (3) developing understanding of volume.

This student determines that for a given month (assuming a 4 week

month), that both Mrs. Smith (every 3rd

day) and Mrs. Jones (every 5th

day) both work the same amount of time, which is a total of 2 days each.

All work is shown, and the student’s approach and reasoning is

explained. Math representations are labeled, clear and accurate.

2 The student will achieve a correct solution. However, the student’s

approach and reasoning may be incomplete or contain major errors

leading the scorer to make inferences. Math language will be used

throughout, and math representations will be clear and accurate.

1 The student shows some understanding of the task. The student may be

able to determine the number of days each parent worked but then may

not be able to calculate the time. The student may also achieve an

incorrect solution due to a computation mistake. Some math language

will be used, and representations will be attempted.
