Proper fractionsThe value of the numerator is less than the value of the denominator.
Proper in this case does not mean correct or best.

Writing mixed numbers as improper fractions
The algorithm that is taught in schools obscures the meaning. This is true for many algorithms, which are “efficient” ways of carrying out operations.

Multiplying fractions
• Repeated addition model
• Area model
![Page 13: Proper fractions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681619e550346895dd15449/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Multiplication of fractions
• Fraction as operator
• The multiplication algorithm is best explained by the area model.

Dividing fractions
Because division is the inverse operation of multiplication, dividing a number by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying the number by the multiplicative inverse, called the reciprocal, of the fraction.

Extra Practice• 1. You have from 10:00 - 11:30 to do a project. At
11, what fraction of time remains? At 11:20, what fraction of time remains?
• Use a diagram to explain how you know. Are there certain diagrams that are more effective? Discuss this with your group.
