Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, We are learning to …. Understand multiplication involving fractions using meaningful visual models and real-world contexts involving ‘parts-of’ and ‘groups-of’ problems. We will be successful when we can …. Represent, contextualize, and justify problems involving multiplication of fractions by fractions (4.NF.4, 5.NF.4, 5.NF.6) using tape diagrams and area models.

Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, NF.4. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction. a.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.) Study this standard. Then work in small groups to create a visual model and identify a context for (2/3) x 4 and for (2/3) x (4/5). Standard 5.NF.4a

Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I have 30 marbles. 2/5 of them are red. How many of the marbles are red? Example for Standard 5.NF.4a Partition 30 into fifths. Each fifth represents 6 marbles. We need 2 of the partitions (2/5) 30 ÷ 5 x 2 = 12 marbles. 5.NF.4. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction. a.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. 6 marbles

Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, NF.4. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction. a.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. Task: Write (2/5) x 30 as a x q ÷ b (2/5) X 30 = (2 x 30) ÷ 5 60 ÷ 5 = 12 marbles I have 30 marbles. 2/5 of them are red. How many of the marbles are red? Example for Standard 5.NF.4a

Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Where does “a sequence of operations a × q ÷ b” come from? How did we get here? (2/5) X 30 = (2 x 30) ÷ 5 (2/5) X 30 = ( 2 x 1/5) x 30 = 2 x (1/5 x 30) = 2 x (30 x 1/5) = (2 x 30) x 1/5 = (2 x 30) ÷ 5 I have 30 marbles. 2/5 of them are red. How many of the marbles are red? 6 marbles

On your white board draw a strip diagram that you used to help you solve the problem. Present your solution to your table using your strip diagram and discuss how your problem and strip diagram connects back to 4.NF.4c, 5.NF.4a and/or 5.NF.6

Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Standards for Mathematical Practice 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments & critique reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
