Mr. Neran introduces a lesson on multiplying mixed numbers by fractions and mixed numbers, using the area model strategy. The lesson covers the multiplication of mixed numbers by fractions, emphasizing the need for a common denominator. It then progresses to multiplying mixed numbers by mixed numbers, again using the area model. Students are encouraged to practice independently, applying the strategies learned.

What is the main objective of today's lesson?

• To understand the concept of division

• To multiply mixed numbers by fractions or mixed numbers

• To learn how to add fractions

• To subtract mixed numbers

What strategy is used for multiplying mixed numbers in this lesson?

• Addition

• Cross multiplication

• Area model

• Long division

In the area model, what do we separate in a mixed number?

• The decimal and integer parts

• The tens and units

• The whole number and fractional parts

• The numerator and denominator

Why do we need a common denominator when adding fractions?

• To make the fractions larger

• To simplify the fractions

• To ensure the fractions have the same base for addition

• To convert fractions to decimals

What happens to a number when it is multiplied by a fraction less than one?

• It becomes larger

• It remains the same

• It becomes smaller

• It turns into a whole number

When multiplying two mixed numbers, what is the first step using the area model?

• Add the whole numbers

• Multiply the fractions directly

• Separate the whole and fractional parts

• Convert to improper fractions

How do you convert an improper fraction to a mixed number?

• Subtract the denominator from the numerator

• Add the numerator and denominator

• Multiply the numerator by the denominator

• Divide the numerator by the denominator
