T1
Multiply whole numbers and fractions using different strategies and visuals
leading to NS.1
Lesson 1
Vocabulary
Notes
A fraction is a part of a whole. Within a fraction, the pieces are the same size.
Basic multiplication can be thought of as repeated addition: 3 x 5 = 5 + 5 + 5 (it can also be read "3 groups of 5")
When working with fractions, it might be better to think of multiplication as a scaling operation (scaling up or scaling down)
