NF.4 Multiplying a Whole Number by a Fraction
Learning Targets
- I can explain why a/b = a x 1/b using models. For example, 3/4 = 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 3 x 1/4).
- I can decompose a fraction into multiple unit fractions. 5 x 7/8 = 5 x (7 x 1/8) = (5 x 7) x 1/8 = 35 x 1/8 -or- 35/8.
- I can solve word problems that involve a whole number and a fraction.
