This is a bundle of my 2 sets of task cards designed to support 5.NF.B.4.B, multiplying mixed numbers using the area model. Each set is available separately in my store, but this is the bundle of both SET A (one dimension is fractional) and SET B (both dimensions are fractional). All of the cards in this set use unit fractions for the fractional values. I designed these cards to use with my above level fifth graders as we transitioned into the common core. I was working to build towards findi

This is a set of 16 task cards designed to help students learn to distinguish between situations in which you need to multiplication by a fraction or divide by a fraction. Each situation uses a whole number as the whole, and then requires finding either a fraction of a set (multiplication), the total length of things the size of a fraction of an inch (multiplication/repeated addition), or finding the number of times a fraction fits into a whole (division). I teach above level fifth graders,

This is a double set of task cards designed to support 5.NF.B.4, which involves multiplying mixed numbers using an area model. These are the third in a series of task cards I created to use with my above level fifth grade students. In this set, each quadrilateral has both the length and width including fractional dimensions, and they each include at least one dimension that is NOT a unit fraction (I used 3/4, 3/5, and 2/3). This raises the difficulty level as the pieces on the sides of each s

This is a 6 page PDF file that contains computation practice for both addition and subtraction of fractions and mixed number (unlike denominators). Four of the sheets are straight computation, and the final two are addition and subtraction problems that use the variable n in various positions for the kids to solve. These were created for an above level fifth grade math class learning sixth grade objectives. They were designed to give practice with changing denominators that are fairly low, and

This is a double set of task cards designed to support Common Core 5.NF.B.4, which is multiplying mixed numbers using the area model. There are 28 task cards in 2 separate decks (total of 56 cards). They use the identical models, but are labeled differently to meet the needs of different students. All of the models include fractional dimensions for both the length and width, and all use only unit fractions. I designed these to use with my above level fifth grade students. They were having tr

This is a mixed set of 9 activity sheets and 5 note sheets that I use with my class as we work through what it means to multiply with fractions. It includes a whole number times a fraction, a mixed number, and a fraction times a fraction. The intent of these sheets is not computation practice, but to understand the connection between multiplying with fractions and repeated addition, area arrays, and then how this differs from dividing with a fraction. I have updated this file to include more
