CCSS Math Standard: 5.NF.5

Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions. Interpret multiplication as scaling (resizing) by: — a. Comparing the size of a product to the size of one factor on the basis of the size of the other factor, without performing the indicated multiplication. — b. Explaining why multiplying a given number by a fraction greater than 1 results in a product greater than the given number (recognizing multiplication by whole numbers greater than 1 as a familiar case); explaining why multiplying a given number by a fraction less than 1 results in a product smaller than the given number; and relating the principle of fraction equivalence a/b = (n×a) / (n×b) to the effect of multiplying a/b by 1.

Numerator or Denominator: Which has more power in a fraction?

What do you do with students who already get their fraction operations? Give them a contrived project about recipes or pizza slices? Make them solve annoyingly hard practice problems? Please. Here, we get students thinking in a whole new way, pondering which has more power, the numerator or denominator.

Gr 2-6

Writing A Story About Fraction Equivalence

When fractions take on a new denominator, it’s as if they’re wearing a disguise – same value, new look. So let’s write a story about fraction equivalence starring a fraction who needs to fit in with a new group.
