Objective:  Understand and apply the concept of multiplying fractions as finding a part of a part 

MGSE4.NF.4

• Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number.
  
  

• Solve word problems involving multiplication of a fraction by a whole number using visual fraction models and equations.

Objective: 

• Students will identify whether a fraction is greater than 1, less than 1, or equal to 1, and predict how multiplying by that fraction will affect a whole number

• Students will model multiplication as scaling by using the dice game to show how multiplying by a fraction changes a quantity; moving forward, backward, or staying in place.

• Students will explain and justify how multiplication by a fraction represents a scaling of the original number.

5.NR.3.5 Explain why multiplying a whole number by a fraction greater than one

results in a product greater than the whole number, and why multiplying a whole

number by a fraction less than one results in a product less than the whole

number, and multiplying a whole number by a fraction equal to one results in a

product equal to the whole number
