Content Area:
Mathematics
Grade:
5
Domain:
Number and Operations—Fractions
Cluster:
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions.
Standard:
Interpret multiplication as scaling (resizing), by: Explaining 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); explaining why multiplying a given number by a fraction less than 1 results in a product smaller than the given number; and relating the principle of fraction equivalence a/b = (n × a)/(n × b) to the effect of multiplying a/b by 1.
