This video addresses Indiana Academic Standard for Math 5.C.5: Use visual fraction models and numbers to multiply a fraction by a fraction or a whole number. Math education consultant Ryan Flessner helps educators envision the teaching and assessment of this standard in Grade 5.

Multiplication of fractions is a new concept in fifth grade. The standard focuses educators’ attention on concrete ideas that will lead to conceptual understandings. The idea is to promote understanding over rote memorization.

Visual fraction models include fractions bars and circles, pattern blocks, number lines, and other mathematical tools. Visual fraction models allow students to explore multiplication of fractions in concrete ways while connecting these ideas to prior knowledge. Informal assessments such as observations and interviews can assist educators in pushing students’ thinking on a daily basis. Summative assessments should look for correct answers while also insisting that students communicate how they achieved these answers.
