Exploring Multiplication of Fractions and Whole Numbers

The video tutorial covers lesson 7.2 on multiplying fractions and whole numbers. It begins with an introduction to the topic and the essential question of using models to show the product of a fraction and a whole number. The lesson includes a hands-on activity using fraction strips to model multiplication, followed by a discussion on using mathematical tools strategically. The tutorial also demonstrates modeling multiplication with fraction circles. The video concludes with a summary of the lesson and final thoughts.

What is the essential question of the lesson?

• How can you use a model to show the sum of a fraction and a whole number?

• How can you use a model to show the product of a fraction and a whole number?

• How can you use a model to show the difference between a fraction and a whole number?

• How can you use a model to show the division of a fraction by a whole number?
