Extend previous understanding of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a fraction, including mixed numbers and fractions greater than 1, with procedural reliability
I can multiply fractions, including mixed numbers that I can turn into fractions, then simplify my solutions.
- Multiply 2/5 and 5/8, then write your answer in simplest form.
- Multiply 3/10 and 5/9, then write your answer in simplest form.
- Multiply 5 1/2 and 3, then write your answer in simplest form.
When multiplying a given number by a fraction less than 1 or a fraction greater than 1, predict and explain the relative size of the product to the given number without calculating.
I can predict or estimate what will happen to a whole number if I multiply it by a fraction less than 1 or a fraction greater than 1.
