Goals of this session
• Explore how Japanese textbooks teach multiplication and division of fractions through use of problems and representations.
• Think about how we can use students’ prior understanding of multiplication and division to help them understand the multiplication and division of fractions.

NCTM Focal PointsGRADE 6
• Number and Operations: Developing an understanding of and fluency with multiplication and division of fractions and decimals.Students use the meanings of fractions, multiplication and division, and the inverse relationship between multiplication and division to make sense of procedures for multiplying and dividing fractions and explain why they work.

Singapore’s Mathematics Primary Syllabus (2007)
• Although students should become competent in the various mathematical skills, over-emphasizing procedural skills without understanding the underlying mathematical principles should be avoided.

Japanese Course of Study (1)
• The meanings of (fraction) x (whole number) and (fraction) ÷ (whole number) are explained using the same idea used in multiplication and division of whole numbers.

Japanese Course of Study (2)
• (fraction) x (whole number) can be thought of as the calculation of finding how much there is altogether given the size of each unit and the number of units

Japanese Course of Study (3)
• (fraction) ÷ (whole number) can be explained by partitive division of whole numbers and by quotative division of whole numbers

Fraction x Whole Number
• Related to unitary meaning of fractions– The numerator tells the number of unit fractions in the fraction (i.e. 3/5 means 3
one-fifths)– Therefore, you should multiply the numerator by the whole number.– It is the same as multiplying whole numbers (3 x 2)

Fraction ÷ Whole number
• Partitive division– 4/5 m2 divided into 3 equal parts is easier to think about than
the number of 3’s in 4/5.
• Dividing by a whole number affects the denominator– The size of the unit fraction (or number of parts in the whole)
changed

Things to think about• How can we help students use their prior knowledge of
multiplication and division to understand these operations with fractions?– It is helpful if the meanings of the factors in the multiplication
sentence are clear.
• Context and representations– Same context is used in
• Fraction x Whole Number• Fraction ÷ Whole Number• Fraction x Fraction• Fraction ÷ Fraction
– Use of continuous quantities• Makes more sense in a real world context
– Use of models• Double number line allows you to use the same model for multiplication
and division
