Repeated addition is the process of adding the same equal group to itself multiple times.

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

To represent something is to show it in a different way.

Represent and multiply an improper fraction by a whole number.

Maths

In this unit pupils will multiply an improper fraction and a mixed number by a whole number. In the future unit pupils will find unit and non-unit fractions of whole numbers and explore parts and wholes.

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