Week 4

(Module 1 Topic 1 Lesson 4: Multiplying Fractions)

Learning objective = Students review the area model for multiplication and apply it to multiplying mixed numbers. They analyze two methods for multiplying mixed numbers and then use these methods to answer questions in the context of a real-world scenario.

Parents can support learning at home by helping students connect this week’s lesson to real-life examples and practice explaining their thinking. Encourage your child to explain each step aloud rather than simply memorize a rule = SAMPLE TEST QUESTIONS + MORE QUESTIONS

***If your child needs more challenge, they can move at a faster pace by using this site to study the concepts of future lessons. Mr. Pierre will strive to prepare lessons two weeks ahead of the current week. Also, Khan Academy is a great enrichment resource***
