Description: Interpreting and explaining the "why" of  the relationship between division fractions can be challenging for our 5th graders.  In this interactive and scripted 2 segment bundle (30-60 minutes each) your students will:

• Collaborate with peers to practice the "language" of math in strategic and purposeful partnerships and take "math" notes
• Use models to demonstrate understanding that a fraction is the result of dividing the numerator by the denominator
• Solve word problems involving the division of whole numbers resulting in proper fractions
• Draw and use models to represent fractions that are a result of dividing whole objects into smaller pieces
• Demonstrate their understanding of this skill by playing  "Fractions as Division Pictionary"
• Complete an exit slip to help you determine instructional next steps

Description: Have fun teaching, reinforcing or introducing the concept of "scaling" for your 5th graders.  In this lightly-scripted and engaging lesson they will:

• Compare 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
•  Explain 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)
• Practice sharing how and why multiplying a given number by a fraction less than 1 results in a product smaller than the given number
• Relate the principle of fraction equivalence a/b = (n × a)/(n b) to the effect of multiplying a/b by 1
• Complete an "exit ticket" to help drive your next instructional steps
