This unit builds both on prior learning where pupils calculated the value of a part of a set using unit fractions as operators and on more recent learning calculating with mixed numbers. In this unit, pupils relate repeated addition of unit fractions to multiplication of fractions before multiplying proper fractions by whole numbers both within and greater than a whole. This will prepare them for multiplying improper fractions and mixed numbers by a whole number.

  1. Explain the relationship between repeated addition of unit fractions and multiplication of fractions
  2. Explain the relationship between repeated addition of fractions and multiplication of fractions
  3. Multiply a proper fraction by a whole number where the product is within a whole
  4. Multiply a proper fraction by a whole number where the product is greater than a whole
  5. Solve problems involving multiplying proper fractions by whole numbers
