1. Modelling Multiplication of Fractions

2. Model Fractions Multiply by a Whole #
4 x 1 6
4 groups of 1 6 =
= 4 6
÷ 2 2
= 𝟐 𝟑 =
Reduce (simplify)

3. 4 x 2 3 Model Fractions Multiply by a Whole # 4 groups of 2 3 =
2 and 2/3 circles are now shaded = =

4. Model Fractions Multiply by a Whole # using a number line
6 x 4 5
6 groups of 4 5 =
4 4 5

5. Modelling Multiplying Fraction
2 3 x 4 5
draw a 5 by 3 rectangle with 15 total units.
Label the columns and rows according to fractions
𝑅𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑛−𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑎𝑝 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔
Fill 4 5 of the columns
Fill 2 3 of the 𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑠
The entire rectangle is 15 units and the shaded covers 8 units; therefore 8 15

6. Multiply Models using tiles
“Two-thirds of six-eighths”
6 tiles out of eight
2/3 of these 6
Determine what fraction of the whole is now present

7. Multiply Models using tiles
“One-half of five-sixths”
5 tiles out of six
1/2 of these 5
Determine what fraction of the whole is now present
Fractions should never have decimals, so multiply top and bottom by 2.
x 2 2
= 5 12
