Learning objective

What this activity builds

Represent a whole number as a fraction over one and use multiplication to find a fractional amount.

Worked example

What is 3/5 of 20?

12.

One-fifth of 20 is 4, so three-fifths is 3 × 4 = 12. The fraction multiplication (3/5) × (20/1) gives the same result, 60/5.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Use equal groups to connect the words of and times.
  • When possible, divide by the denominator before multiplying by the numerator to keep the arithmetic small.
  • Contrast finding a part with finding the unknown whole; those require different starting information.
