The purpose of this task is to provide students with a concrete situation they can model by dividing a whole number by a unit fraction.

This task requires students to recognize both "number of groups unknown" and "group size unknown" division problems in the context of a whole number divided by a unit fraction.

STUDENT ACTIVITY - 5th - TX/NCThis is a distance- learning lesson students can complete at home. Students will use their knowledge of fractions to divide whole numbersThis activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities.

This hands-on activity explores five different forms of erosion (chemical, water, wind, glacier and temperature). Students rotate through stations and model each type of erosion on rocks, soils and minerals. The students record their observations and discuss the effects of erosion on the Earth's landscape. Students learn about how engineers are involved in the protection of landscapes and structures from erosion. Math problems are included to help students think about the effects of erosion in real-world scenarios.

Grade 5’s Module 4 extends student understanding of fraction operations to multiplication and division of both fractions and decimal fractions.  Work proceeds from interpretation of line plots which include fractional measurements to interpreting fractions as division and reasoning about finding fractions of sets through fraction by whole number multiplication.  The module proceeds to fraction by fraction multiplication in both fraction and decimal forms.  An understanding of multiplication as scaling and multiplication by n/n as multiplication by 1 allows students to reason about products and convert fractions to decimals and vice versa.  Students are introduced to the work of division with fractions and decimal fractions.  Division cases are limited to division of whole numbers by unit fractions and unit fractions by whole numbers.  Decimal fraction divisors are introduced and equivalent fraction and place value thinking allow student to reason about the size of quotients, calculate quotients and sensibly place decimals in quotients.  Throughout the module students are asked to reason about these important concepts by interpreting numerical expressions which include fraction and decimal operations and by persevering in solving real-world, multistep problems which include all fraction operations supported by the use of tape diagrams.

This task provides a context for performing division of a whole number by a unit fraction. This problem is a "How many groups?'' example of division.

In this lesson designed to enhance literacy skills, students examine how to multiply fractions by whole numbers in the context of a recipe.

Módulo 4 de grado 5 extiende la comprensión del estudiante de las operaciones de fracción a la multiplicación y la división de fracciones y fracciones decimales. El trabajo procede de la interpretación de los gráficos de línea que incluyen mediciones fraccionales para interpretar las fracciones como división y razonamiento sobre la búsqueda de fracciones de conjuntos a través de la fracción por multiplicación de números enteros. El módulo procede a la fracción por multiplicación de fracción en formas de fracción y decimal. Una comprensión de la multiplicación como escala y multiplicación por N/N como multiplicación por 1 permite a los estudiantes razonar sobre productos y convertir fracciones en decimales y viceversa. Los estudiantes son presentados al trabajo de división con fracciones y fracciones decimales. Los casos de división se limitan a la división de números enteros por fracciones unitarias y fracciones unitarias por números enteros. Se introducen divisores de fracción decimal y la fracción equivalente y el pensamiento del valor del lugar permiten al alumno razonar sobre el tamaño de los cocientes, calcular los cocientes y colocar decimales con sensatez en los cocientes. A lo largo del módulo, se les pide a los estudiantes que razonen sobre estos conceptos importantes interpretando expresiones numéricas que incluyen operaciones de fracción y decimales y perseverar en la resolución de problemas de varios pasos en el mundo real que incluyen todas las operaciones de fracción compatibles con el uso de diagramas de cintas.

The intent of clarifying statements is to provide additional guidance for educators to communicate the intent of the standard to support the future development of curricular resources and assessments aligned to the 2021 math standards.  Clarifying statements can be in the form of succinct sentences or paragraphs that attend to one of four types of clarifications: (1) Student Experiences; (2) Examples; (3) Boundaries; and (4) Connection to Math Practices.

The purpose of this task is for students to find the answer to a question in context that can be represented by fraction multiplication. This task is appropriate for either instruction or assessment depending on how it is used and where students are in their understanding of fraction multiplication.

Students explore building a pyramid, learning about the simple machine called an inclined plane. They also learn about another simple machine, the screw, and how it is used as a lifting or fastening device. During a hands-on activity, students see how the angle of inclination and pull force can make it easier (or harder) to pull an object up an inclined plane.
