In this lesson, students will apply their understanding of multiplication of fractions and whole numbers to solve real world problems about a bakery. Students will also use multiplication with decimals (money) to calculate the bakery's earnings.
Students consider geometric properties when categorizing quadrilaterals.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about dividing fractions by fractions.
The task requires students to arrange a given set of numbers (each used only once), operations, quotients, and products to make all the equations true. Students are then required to explain how they determined the correct number arrangements without performing the operations. 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.
The purpose of this task is to provide students with a concrete experience they can relate to fraction multiplication. Perhaps more importantly, the task also purposefully relates length and locations of points on a number line, a common trouble spot for students. This task is meant for instruction and would be a useful as part of an introductory unit on fraction multiplication.
Students solve multiplication and division problems that involve fractions.
This task requires students to think about and compare fractions.
This is the Additional Resource list for Grade 5 Cluster 6.
In this lesson students determine the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths. Students explore the idea of doubling a side and the impact that has on the area.
In these 2 lessons students explore the multiplication of a fraction by a whole number.
In this lesson students use various models to explore what happens when you multiply a fraction by a whole number.
In this lesson students use various models to explore tasks that involve multiplying two fractions.
In this lesson, students explore situations that involve multiplying fractions.
Students explore various models while multiplying fractions.
This resource provides ideas for differentiation, MTSS, and RTI for Grade 5 Cluster 6.
This resource includes Task Cards aligned with Grade 5 Cluster 6.
Students will activate their prior knowledge of Haiti from Feed the Hunger PBL and answer a few questions about Haiti statistics and value of money. They will also relate fractions to the statistics and money amounts. This lesson was developed by Erin Plummer as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.
In this lesson, students will learning about monetary amounts (a quarter) and what a quarter could buy you here in the United States as well as in Haiti. Students will also be exploring fractions by comparing the same monetary amount to a fraction of a dollar and also write out a dollar amount using fractions in simpliest form. This lesson was developed by Marissa Piersanti as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.
Students identify features of quadrilaterals.
This resource provides opportunities for learners to explore situations that involve multiplying a mixed number by a fraction. This is remixable by adding in further supports for the range of learners in your class.
