Standard Identifier: 4.NF.4.b
Content Area: Mathematics
Grade: 4
Domain: Number and Operations—Fractions

Cluster:
Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers.

Standard:
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number. Understand a multiple of a/b as a multiple of 1/b, and use this understanding to multiply a fraction by a whole number. For example, use a visual fraction model to express 3 × (2/5) as 6 × (1/5), recognizing this product as 6/5. (In general, n × (a/b) = (n × a)/b.)
