In order to access this I need to be confident with:
Whole numbers Multiplying and dividing fractions Multiplying fractionsHere we will learn about fractions of numbers and how to solve problems involving fractions of numbers.
Students first learn about fractions of numbers in fourth grade in their work with number and operations – fractions. They will extend this understanding as they progress through 5th and 6th grade.
Fractions of numbers are calculated when we multiply a fractional number by the whole number. The word “of” means to multiply.
For example, let’s look at how to use a visual model and the algorithm to calculate fractions of numbers.
How does this relate to 4th grade math?
In order to find a fraction of a number using a model.
In order to find a fraction of a number using the algorithm

Yes, the word “of” means to multiply. So finding the fraction of a number is the same as when you multiply fractions.
Yes, in order to make a whole number a fraction, place it over katex is not defined So the denominator of the fraction is always katex is not defined
Mixed fractions and mixed numbers mean the same thing.
You can get a common denominator to multiply fractions, but it isn’t necessary for multiplication.
There are proper fractions where the numerator (top number) is smaller than the denominator (bottom number). There are unit fractions where the numerator (top number) is katex is not defined and the denominator (bottom number) is a whole number. There are improper fractions where the numerator (top number) is greater than the denominator (bottom number). There are mixed numbers or mixed fractions that are made up of a whole number and a proper fraction.
They are similar because they can have a whole part and a fractional part.
