I noticed that my 5th grade students needed some more experience with multiplying fractions using arrays or area models, and since I had a wide range of learners I created this set of 40 area model Google ready task cards to start at a beginning level and then slowly working up to an advanced level so I could have different students start at different places. Perseverance is required!

Students can answer directly onto the Google slide or write down their answers on the included recording sheet.

What is included?

A PDF file with instructions to set up a free google account and how to copy the files into your google drive.

• A page with links to the 40 task cards in google slides
• 4 page answer key
• 3 pages of student answer sheets (printable, two versions: one you can assign which task cards to do, and the other for students to do all of them)
• 2 pages of student tracking sheets (printable, if you want to keep track of what each student is doing)

What standards are addressed?

Common Core Standards

4.MD.A.3

Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real world and mathematical problems. For example, find the width of a rectangular room given the area of the flooring and the length, by viewing the area formula as a multiplication equation with an unknown factor.

5.NF.B.4

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

5.NF.B.4.A

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.B.4.B

Find the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths by tiling it with unit squares of the appropriate unit fraction side lengths, and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths. Multiply fractional side lengths to find areas of rectangles, and represent fraction products as rectangular areas.

5.NF.B.6

Solve real world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.
