Unit 7: Connecting Whole Number Multiplication and Division concepts to Fractions
Essential Questions
How do I decide which operation or operations are needed to solve problems?
How do I decide which strategy to use when making calculations?
How can I verify that an answer is reasonable?
Students will be able to…
Use estimation to verify reasonableness of solutions to problem situations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (whole numbers and fractions).
Use objects and pictorial models including area models to represent and solve multiplication of a whole number and a fraction that refers to the same whole in contextual situations.
Use objects and pictorial models to represent division of a unit fraction by a whole number and division of a whole number by a unit fraction in contextual situations.
Divide whole numbers by unit fractions and unit fractions by whole numbers in contextual situations.
