In this lesson, students will solve word problems involving the multiplication of a whole number and a fraction including those involving line plots.

This workbook was created through the efforts of three instructors at Scottsdale Community College in Scottsdale, Arizona. Any individual may download and utilize a digital copy of this workbook for free.

In this lesson, students represent the multiplication of n times a/b as (n × a)/b using the associative property and visual models.

For this activity, students practice multiplying fractions by a whole number using visual representations prior to moving on to direct multiplication.

This lesson is for grades 4-5 on math. At Home Learning Lessons are a partnership between the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, PBS North Carolina, and the William and Ida Friday Institute for Educational Innovation. Each lesson contains a video instructional lesson, a PDF lesson plan with a transcript, and a PDF file of extension activities.

For this online interactive, students use visuals to solve problems and have the option to skip the problem or check their answer before submitting it. Their progress is tracked and shown above each problem.

This lesson's target is multiplying a fraction by a whole number by drawing a visual area model. Students will engage in one problem as a group, then try four problems on their own or in a partnership. There are suggestions for summarizing questions included, as well as a formative assessment. The student activity page includes both the exploration questions (front) and the formative assessment (back).

This 4 unit of number and operations lessons explores multiplying whole numbers by fractions through 3 hands-on activities and 4 worksheets.

Students will recognize the utility of mathematics in art.  They will apply Leonardo Da Vinci’s rules of proportion for the human body and will use these rules to compose self-portraits.  In order to determine the measurements of specific body parts, students will use multiple strategies, such as multiplying whole numbers by fractional parts.  This activity also allows students to make conversions between measurements, connections between linear measurement and fractions, and see the relationship between multiplication of a fraction and division by a whole number.  This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.

In this lesson, students will be able to represent fractions, decimals and percents using physical models, pictures, words and mathematical symbols.
