Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Unit Fraction Multiples. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

Apply previous understanding of multiplication that 3 x 7 can be represented as the number of objects in 3 groups of 7 objects, and write this as 7 + 7 + 7 to multiplication of fraction by a whole number.
See a fraction as numerator as a whole number multiplied by the unit fraction with the same denominator ( 9/5 = 9 x 1/5).
All fractions are a composition of their unit fraction.
Unit fractions or fractions with a numerator of 1, which are formed by partitioning a whole into equal parts and taking one part. e.g. If a whole is partitioned into 3 equal parts then each part is 1/3.
Unit fractions are to be understood to be the basic building block of all fractions.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

Name the parts of a fraction. How are those parts related to a whole? How can you use groups to explain multiplication? What are unit fractions? How can you make unit fractions?

After the Game

How did you decide how to divide the watering cans? Which part of the fraction told you how to divide the cans? How did you divide the watering cans among the trees? Is it true that 1/5 is one of five equal parts in a fraction model? Why do you think the smaller trees needed 1/5 gallon of water and the larger trees needed 1 gallon of water?
