Day Five: More Multiplying Fractions

Today in Math 6 and Math 6+, students continued their work with Lesson 1.3: Multiplying Fractions. The focus today was on the application of what was modeled and practiced on Friday. Students completed the task independently and then discussed answers with assigned partners.

Essential understanding for Lesson 1.3:

• Visual models like area models and number lines can be used to multiply fractions. 

In this lesson, students will be able to...

• multiply fractions and apply those skills to multiply mixed numbers.
• effectively communicate with a colleague using mathematical language.
