In this video, Mr. Peterson demonstrates how to model the multiplication and division of fractions. The tutorial begins with modeling multiplication using arrays, where denominators are used to draw grids and shade sections to find the product. The process is verified using an algorithm. The video then transitions to modeling division by creating common denominators and using models to determine how many times one fraction fits into another. This is also verified with an algorithm, ensuring the model's accuracy.

What is the first step in modeling multiplication of fractions?

• Shade the first fraction vertically

• Simplify the fraction

• Draw an array using the denominators

• Multiply the numerators
