5.NR.3.5
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
