Week 3 (5/18/20) - 5th Grade Mathematics!

Unit 5, Module 3 & 4

This week's focus will continue to work on fraction-by-fraction multiplication and take a

look at division. While there are many activities within this home learning packet, there

is only one graded assignment in math each week. It can be found on the next page.

You may choose to complete the graded activity first and submit it to your

teacher for feedback. If you are struggling with the activity, it is suggested that

you complete the following activities. Once complete, you can take a picture and

send it to your teacher through email, class dojo, text, etc…

Day 1 - Monday : Module 3 - Session 3 Generalizations About Multiplying with Fractions

Here is a list of fractions that you have multiplied recently. Take a look at the list and think about the following questions:

● Do you notice any patterns?

● What do the equations have in common?

● How are the fractions being multiplied related to their products?

You might have noticed a few things like:

● You are going to work today to investigate these 3 ideas above.

● You might want to create rectangular arrays on grids to explore the idea of using specific fractions

● As you explore you might discover that the ideas are true for all numbers, not all numbers, or the statements may need to be modified.

● Consider the following cases as you explore the three statements: ○ Multiplying two fractions ○ Multiplying a fraction by a whole number ○ Multiplying a fraction by a mixed number

● Remember when investigating it is all right not to arrive at a solid answer, good mathematicians are able to explain why something is confusing or ask questions about what they are wondering. Be a good mathematician!

The following activity is an opportunity for you to make sense of the problems. The fractions are meant to be difficult to compute, so that you are not computing mentally. Instead, use what you know about multiplication and about fractions, whole numbers, and mixed numbers to determine how each product relates to the factors. If you are struggling, don’t be afraid to peak at the answers to help you along.

Day 2 - Tuesday: Module 3 - Session 4 Tic-Frac-Toe

Today’s activity involves learning to play a new Workplace - Tic Frac Toe Here are the directions on how to play Tic Frac Toe: Number Cards are included in packet:

Tic-Frac-Toe Record Sheet

Player 1 __________________________ Player 2 _________________________ Both players use the same Tic-Frac-Toe board to record their equations. The first player to fill 4 boxes in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row wins the game. **Be sure each player uses a different colored pencil to record his or her equations.

** Do not print these cards two sided

Think about these questions/statements as you play:

● Before arranging your cards, think about which space you want to cover on the record sheet. Remember the goal is to get 4 in a row.

● Do you want to fill in a space that will result in a product that is less than 1 or greater than 1?

● Where is the best location on the board to place your next equation? ● Is it possible to arrange the same cards to make a product greater than 1? Less

than 1? ● How can you be sure that you found the correct product?

Day 3 - Wednesday: Module 4 - Session 1 Reviewing Sharing and Grouping Division

This module starts with working on fraction division - dividing whole numbers by fractions, and fractions by fractions. Today’s session you will review some important ideas about division.

Start by modeling with something laying around the house or drawing 15 ➗ 3 Is there a different way to model/draw the same expression? Model/Draw below

Think about this:

What your paper might look like after answering each question:

Use the information just learned above to apply to the next activity in this module:

● On the next page model each situation using a simple drawing of dots and loops ● Label each visual model with an equation to match, and explain, in writing, the

meaning of each number (kind of like above on Two Interpretations) ● Try to determine the key question in each problem. ● Can you also determine the interpretation (sharing or grouping) of each story

problem?

Day 4 - Thursday: Module 4 - Session 2 Grouping Stories

In this activity you will review grouping interpretations from the last session and deciding which makes more sense in the context of the question, as well as work with division of whole numbers by a fraction.

To start, here is a short review of the two interpretations of division from the last session -- sharing and grouping --- with a few problems. Write a sharing story problem and a grouping story problem for the equations. Draw a picture to help.

Let’s finish up this session with a story that may give you another way to think about dividing by whole numbers and fractions. Understand that this is a confusing concept to grasp clearly and some might be having a hard time really understanding the idea of dividing a whole number by a fraction. Here it goes ;) One day, Anthony decided to make a pot of soup. First he set a nice batch of beans on the stove to cook. Then he started chopping up onions, carrots, celery, and potatoes to add to the beans. As he was working, he started thinking about inviting some friends over to share the soup with him. By the end of the afternoon, he had 8 cups of bean soup. He was very hungry by then, so he got out his biggest soup bowls, and thought, “This soup is so good, and I’m so hungry. I think I’ll give everyone a 4 cup serving.” How many people could Anthony serve?

Record a division equation to match the situation: When Anthony realized that he could only make two 4-cup servings, he said, “That means I can only invite 1 other person besides myself. That’s not much of a party. Maybe I’ll give each person a 2-cup servigin instead.” How many people could Anthony serve now?

Record a division equation to match the situation: When Anthony realized that he could only make four 2-cup servings, he said, “That means I can only invite 3 other people besides myself. I have more friends than that. Maybe I’ll give each person a 1-cup serving instead.”

Record a division equation to match the situation: Anthony was in a conundrum. He didn’t have time to make any more soup, but 7 poeple besides himself didn’t come close to the number of friends he had in the village. He walked around and around in circles trying to figure out what to do. Suddenly he stopped, smacked his forehead and said, “I’ve got it! I’ll give everyone just half a cup of soup. That will mean I can have 15 people and myself --16 servings!” Record a division equation to match the situation:
