    Overview:  Multiplying and Dividing Fractions 

    Estimated Time: Approximately 30 minutes

    Explanation:   Today you will review how to multiply and divide fractions.  Then, you will apply your knowledge. 

    Things to know:

    • Fractions have a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number).
    • When multiplying fractions, multiply the numerators. Then, multiply the denominators.  Simplify the answer, if you are able. 
    • When dividing fractions, write your number model. Keep the first fraction as is, change the division sign to a multiplication sign, finally reciprocate or flip the second fraction.  Multiply the fractions and simplify, if needed.

    • Self-made Questions:
      • You will need your number cards for this activity.
      • Take a pencil, pen, straw, etc. and place in in front of you to make a horizontal line. Place another pencil, pen, marker, straw, etc. and place in in front of you to make another horizontal line.  
      • Flip over one number card and place it above one of the horizontal lines. Flip over a second number card and place it below one of the horizontal lines.  Continue until you have two fractions. 
      • Multiply or divide the fractions.
      • Repeat 8 times.
    • Catering Company Activity:
      • Imagine you are the owner of a catering company. Choose a recipe that you will make for a party.  Consider a recipe that you would enjoy eating. 
      • Your customer just called and said they need to triple the amount of people at the party. Multiply each of the ingredients by 3 and rewrite the ingredients list.
      • Your customer just called and said that five times as many people are coming to the party. Multiply each of the ingredients by 5 and rewrite the ingredients list.
      • Your customer just called and said that one-third of the people are coming to the party. Multiply each of the ingredients by one-third and rewrite the ingredients list.
      • When you have finished take a picture of something you completed or answer the discussion question and post it to Seesaw Math Activity March 23
