Jullenne's Fraction Scribepost

When multiplying a fractions, make sure they are both written as a fraction, eg. 6.
                                                                                                                             1
Then, you multiply the numerator, then the denominator, eg. 6 x 1 = 6
                                                                                                1    2    2
Then, if needed, simplify, eg. 6  x 1 = 6  = 3
                                               1    2    2
 6 x 1 = 3
       2

It could be said in different ways.
For example:

6 groups of 1
                  2
6  =  1
1      2










Here's a game you could play, to learn more about multiplying fractions.




My Test Corrections:

1. 2 1    x   1 3   =
       2            5

5  x  8  =  40  or  4
2      5      10


2.  2 1  x  1 1   =
        4         3

9    x   4   =  36 =  3
4         3       12

3.  In computer technology, a bit 1/8 of a byte. How many bits equal 16 bytes?

16 ÷ 1  =
        8

16  x  8  =  128  = 128
1        1        1
    
1  x  8
8      1

4.  Tamar had 1/2 of an apple pie in her refrigerator. She ate 1/4 of this piece of pie. What fraction of a whole pie did she eat?

1   x  1  =
2       4

2  x  1  =  2    =   1
4      4      16       8



















5.  5  x  1  =
     6      2

5   of   1 
6         2

  1. dear jullenne
    your post was a little confusing. Also 6/1 does not equal 1/2, and when you are using a number line always start from 0 and start your first hop from there. So on the number line if you count the hops there would be 6 instead of 5.

  2. I liked how in your post you used pictures and examples to show multiplying fractions. Your picture helped me understand what 6 groups of 1/2 looks like. Also, I like how you showed 6/1 x 1/2 more than 1 way.

  3. I like how you included a video and a game to help us understand better. I also like how you made your pictures and how you showed different ways of doing 6/1x1/2. On your number line, you made a mistake by starting on 1/2 when you're suppose to start from 0.

  4. Good Job! I liked how you made the important words bold and on your number line i think it would of been better if you started from zero instead of 1/2.

  5. Good job Jullenne! You did a great job on finding a helpful video that's short but very easy to understand and you also added a game which was fun to play! You're post did confuse me a little. Some numbers weren't aligned and if you do a number line you should start from 0 and continue on from there. But overall you did a great job!
