LEARNING GOALS

I can understand that in one way multiplication is merely the resizing of a number. I can multiply a number by a fraction greater than 1 and know it will result in a product greater than the given number.

About the Product

These teacher-facilitated notes will not only solidify students’ mastery of CCSS 5.NF.5a/b but will do so in a fun way that makes students feel as though they are in a hybrid class of math and art. Even though it is super fun for a math lesson (along with our music videos, maybe the most fun, ever), Number notes do not go light on rigor and depth, and will help lead students toward mastery of 5.NF.5a/b.

The visual aids and geographic models in Number Notes help students to not only grasp the procedural knowledge, but also to dig deeper, shedding light on conceptual understanding.

After the students are finished with the final designs and coloring of their doodle, notes like these make a great addition to math journals, as well as looking terrific on bulletin boards - or perhaps even in a gold leaf frame atop the fireplace.

Common Core Alignment
5.NF.4 | 5.NF.2.4
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

5.NF.4a | 5.NF.2.4a
Interpret the product (a/b) × q as a parts of a partition of q into b equal parts; equivalently, as the result of a sequence of operations a × q ÷ b. For example, use a visual fraction model to show (2/3) × 4 = 8/3, and create a story context for this equation. Do the same with (2/3) × (4/5) = 8/15. (In general, (a/b) × (c/d) = (ac)/(bd).
5.NF.5a | 5.NF.2.5a
Comparing the size of a product to the size of one factor on the basis of the size of the other factor, without performing the indicated multiplication.
5.NF.5b | 5.NF.2.5b

Explaining why multiplying a given number by a fraction greater than 1 results in a product greater than the given number (recognizing multiplication by whole numbers greater than 1 as a familiar case); explaining why multiplying a given number by a fraction less than 1 results in a product smaller than the given number; and relating the principle of fraction equivalence a/b = (n × a)/(n × b) to the effect of multiplying a/b by 1.
