Booklet 6 - Multiplication
Designed for nine to eleven-year-old students (fifth grade)
Prerequisite: Fractions: Booklets 3, 4, and 5
This booklet:
- works with concrete models to teach what it means to multiply a fraction by a fraction.
- uses manipulatives and drawings to help students understand this seemingly easy procedure. Easy to do, but not that easy to understand. For example: why does the answer to a multiplication problem in fractions have an answer that is less than either fraction you started with?
Booklet 7 - Addition and Subtraction of Unlike Fractions
Designed for ten to twelve-year-old students (fifth and sixth grade)
Prerequisite: Booklets 3, 4, 5, and 6
This booklet:
- uses the concept of equivalent fractions to develop a common denominator that allows the addition and subtraction of unlike fractions first with manipulatives, and then with calculation.
Booklet 8 - Understanding Division
Designed for ten to twelve-year-old students (fifth and sixth grade)
Prerequisite: Booklets 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7
This booklet:
- uses manipulatives and drawings to develop the concept of division with fractions.
- works on the concept of what the quotient means, how remainders are handled and how to use patterns to calculate the answers without having to use a drawing.
