Included Skills: Fractions, Multiplication
Students will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of multiplying and dividing positive fractions and mixed numbers, concretely, pictorially, and symbolically. • Performance Indicators - N06.01 Identify the operation required to solve a given problem involving positive fractions. - N06.02 Provide a context that requires the multiplying of two given positive fractions. - N06.03 Provide a context that requires the dividing of two given positive fractions. - N06.04 Estimate the product of two given positive proper fractions to determine if the product will be closer to 0, 1/2, or 1. - N06.05 Estimate the quotient of two given positive fractions, and compare the estimate to whole number benchmarks. - N06.06 Express a given positive mixed number as an improper fraction and a given positive improper fraction as a mixed number. - N06.07 Model multiplication of a positive fraction by a whole number concretely and/or pictorially and record the process. - N06.08 Model multiplication of a positive fraction by a positive fraction concretely and/or pictorially, using an area model, and record the process. - N06.09 Model division of a positive proper fraction by a whole number concretely and/or pictorially and record the process. - N06.10 Model division of a whole number by a positive proper fraction concretely and/or pictorially, using an area model, and record the process. - N06.11 Model division of a positive proper fraction by a positive proper fraction pictorially and record the process. - N06.12 Generalize and apply rules for multiplying and dividing positive fractions, including mixed numbers. - N06.13 Symbolically solve a given problem involving positive fractions, taking into consideration order of operations (limited to problems with positive solutions and that exclude exponents).
