Explain the relationship between repeated addition of fractions and multiplication of fractions

Multiply a proper fraction by a whole number where the product is within a whole

Multiply a proper fraction by a whole number where the product is greater than a whole

Solve problems involving multiplying proper fractions by whole numbers

In this unit pupils will explain the relationship between repeated addition of a proper fraction and multiplication of fractions with both unit and not-unit fractions. They will multiply a proper fraction by a whole number. In the future unit pupils will multiply an improper fraction and a mixed number by a whole number.

In the prior unit pupils added mixed numbers. They subtracted a proper fraction from a mixed number and subtracted a mixed number from a mixed number. In this unit pupils will explain the relationship between repeated addition of a proper fraction and multiplication of fractions with both unit and not-unit fractions. They will multiply a proper fraction by a whole number.

Unitising means treating groups that contain or represent the same number of things as units or ones.

A numerator is the top number in a fraction. It shows how many parts we have.

A number which combines both a whole number and a fraction.

A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator.

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator.
