1 Teaching the Lesson
� Math Message Follow-Up WHOLE-CLASSDISCUSSION
Ask students how they determined the next three multiples in each sequence. Possible strategies:
� Think of the problem as skip counting by 1 _ 10 s. To get the next multiple, add 1 _ 10 to the previous fraction. For example,
1 _ 10 + 1 _ 10 = 2 _ 10 ; 2 _ 10 + 1 _ 10 = 3 _ 10 ; 3 _ 10 + 1 _ 10 = 4 _ 10 ; and so on.
� Think in terms of equal groups. For example, 1 group of 1 _ 4 is 1 _ 4 ; 2 groups of 1 _ 4 is 2 __ 4 ; 3 groups of 1 _ 4 is 3 _ 4 ; 4 groups of 1 _ 4 is 4 _ 4 ; and so on.
Tell students that in this lesson they will use their understanding of multiples to multiply fractions by whole numbers.

Student PageOne way is to visualize jumps or hops on the number line, starting at 0. The fraction tells the size of the jump; the whole number tells the number of jumps. Thus, 3 ∗ 1 _ 2 is 3 jumps, each 1 _ 2 unit long. You end up at 3 _ 2 . So, 3 ∗ 1 _ 2 = 3 _ 2 , or 1 1 _ 2 .

Partners complete journal page 217A. Tell students that an equation is a number sentence with an equals sign, such as 3 ∗ 1 _ 2 = 3 _ 2 . As you circulate and assist, pose questions such as the following:
● Which number in the equation tells you the size of the jump? The first fraction
● Which number in the equation tells you the number of jumps? The whole number
● Can you name the products in Problems 3 and 6 as mixed numbers? 4 _ 3 = 1 1 _ 3 ; 7 _ 5 = 1 2 _ 5
� Using a Visual Fraction Model WHOLE-CLASS ACTIVITY
to Multiply Any Fraction by a Whole Number(Math Journal 2, pp. 217B and 217C)
Have partners study the examples at the top of journal page 217B. On a half-sheet of paper, students should record any similarities and differences they see between the equations modeled on the number lines.
Expect students to share observations such as the following:
� Both equations involve multiplication of a fraction by a whole number.
� Both equations have the same product.
� The factors in the equations are different, but 2 _ 5 is a multiple of 1 _ 5 and 6 is a multiple of 3.
� It takes more jumps of 1 _ 5 to get to 6 _ 5 than it does jumps of 2 _ 5 because the jumps of 1 _ 5 are smaller than the jumps of 2 _ 5 .
� The whole number factor in 6 ∗ 1 _ 5 = 6 _ 5 is twice as much as the whole number factor in 3 ∗ 2 _ 5 = 6 _ 5 . The fraction factor in 6 ∗ 1 _ 5 = 6 _ 5 is half as much as the fraction factor in 3 ∗ 2 _ 5 = 6 _ 5 .

NOTE In Lesson 3-8, students used number
models to model number stories. A number
model is a number sentence or part of a number
sentence. A number model can include an equal
sign, but it is not required. An equation is a
number sentence with an equal sign. See
Section 10.2 in the Teacher’s Reference Manual
for more information.
Have partners complete Problems 1 and 2 on journal page 217B by writing a multiplication equation to describe each number line. When students have completed Problem 3, bring the class together to discuss the algorithm for multiplication of a fraction by a whole number. The pattern can be expressed as: n ∗ a __
b = (n ∗ a)
_ b .
Have students complete journal page 217C for additional practice multiplying fractions by whole numbers. Encourage students to use the pattern they discovered on journal page 217B to check their answers.

Pose the following number story:
When Carlos goes to the gym, he exercises for 3 _ 4 of an hour and burns about 200 calories. Last week he went to the gym 5 times. How many hours did Carlos spend at the gym last week?
Ongoing Assessment: Informing Instruction
Watch for students who are distracted by the “extra” 200 in the number story.
Encourage them to eliminate irrelevant information by determining exactly what
they want to find out, what information they already know, and what they might
need to know in order to solve the problem.
On a half-sheet of paper, have students draw a visual fraction model to represent the number story. Expect drawings such as the following:

164
204
34

Then have students write a multiplication equation to represent the problem. 5 ∗ 3 _ 4 = 15 __ 4
Ask students to determine between which two whole numbers of hours the product lies. 3 and 4 hours Have them explain their strategy for finding the answer. Possible strategies:
� Use the number line drawn to represent the number story. Note that the product lies between 12 _ 4 , or 3, and 16 _ 4 , or 4.
� The fraction 15 _ 4 can be renamed as the mixed number 3 3 _ 4 by dividing the numerator, 15, by the denominator, 4: 15 � 4 → 3 R3. The quotient, 3, is the whole number part of the mixed number. The remainder, 3, is the numerator of the fraction part of the mixed number. It tells how many fourths are left over after making as many wholes as possible.

● Which of the products on journal page 217D can you rename as whole numbers? Problem 1a: 2 _ 2 = 1; Problem 2a: 4 _ 4 = 1; Problem 2c: 4 _ 2 = 2
● Between which two whole numbers does the product in Problem 2b lie? 1 and 2
● In Problem 2, how did you decide which whole number you would multiply the recipe ingredients by? Sample answer: The recipe makes 12 muffins. If the sisters want 48 muffins they will need to quadruple the recipe because 12 ∗ 4 = 48.
● How did you solve Problem 6? Sample answer: Let the letter a stand for the number of meetings Cole would need to attend and write the equation a ∗ 5 _ 2 = 15 _ 2 . Use the algorithm for multiplying a fraction by a whole number and think: What number times 5 will give me 15? 3 ∗ 5 = 15, so 3 ∗ 5 _ 2 = 15 _ 2 . Cole will need to attend 3 meetings.
● In Problem 6, between which two whole-number distances does the distance 15 _ 2 miles lie? Between 7 and 8 miles
Allow time for students to share and solve the number stories they wrote for Problem 7. For each problem, pose questions such as the following:
● Between which two whole numbers does the answer lie?
● Can you use a visual fraction model or an equation to represent the problem?

Multiples of Unit Fractions(Math Masters, p. 242B)
To explore multiples of unit fractions, have students skip count on the calculator. Remind students that when you skip count by a number, your counts are the multiples of that number.
Review the steps for counting by 5s on the calculator. Students can program their calculator using the following steps:
TI-15:
1. Press On/Off and Clear simultaneously. This clears your calculator display and memory.
2. Press Op1 + 5 Op1 . This tells the calculator to count up by 5s.
3. Press 0. This is the starting number.
Casio fx-55:
1. Press . This clears your calculator display and memory.
2. Press 5. This tells the calculator to count by 5s.
3. Press . This tells the calculator to count up.
4. Press 0. This is the starting number.
Now the calculator is ready to count by 5s. Without clearing their calculators, have students press the Op1 key or the key. Press the Op1 key or the key repeatedly as the students count together by 5s.
Next have students skip count by the unit fraction 1 _ 4 . You may first need to remind students of the steps to enter a fraction on their calculators.
To enter 1 _ 4 :
� On a TI-15: 1 n 4 d .
� On a Casio fx-55: 1 4.
Have students skip count by unit fractions to complete the tables on Math Masters, page 242B. Afterward, discuss how Problem 6 highlights the concept that a fraction such as 9 _ 3 means the same thing as 9 ∗ ( 1 _ 3 ). In general, a _ b = a ∗ ( 1 _ b ).

� Visual Models for Multiplying 15–30 Min
a Fraction by a Whole Number(Student Reference Book, p. 58; Math Masters, pp. 242C and 242D)
To extend students’ understanding of fraction multiplication, have them explore two different models: addition and area. Begin by having students read Student Reference Book, page 58. Discuss the example provided for each model as a group.
Have students complete Math Masters, pages 242C and 242D. For page 242C, encourage the groups to discuss how each number in the problem was represented in the model. The whole number is the number of rectangles drawn. The denominator of the fraction is the number of equal parts each rectangle is divided into. The numerator of the fraction is the number of parts of each rectangle that are shaded.
