Topic: Review What You Know!
What Your Student is Learning: Adding, Subtracting, & Multiply Fractions
Background and Context for Parents: How can sums and differences of fractions and mixed numbers be estimated? What are common procedures for adding and subtracting fractions? What does it mean to multiply fractions? These are some of the questions your student should be talking about over the following topics. In 4th grade, students added and subtracted with like denominators. These lessons are aimed at extending that to add and subtract with unlike denominators. The next two pages support underlying skills needed, such as comparing fractions and finding equivalent fractions.
Ways to support your student: Work through the next two pages with your child. Ask questions along the way that support understanding, such as, How did you get your answer? Does that always work? What strategy did you use? Can you explain what you did? Can you draw a picture or a model to show your thinking? Do you see a pattern? How would you explain what you know right now? Does your answer make sense?
Online Resources for Students: For any areas that may need extra support, there are many videos that can provide extra examples explains. Google “Khan Academy + ___________”, such as “Khan Academy common denominator” https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic/fraction-arithmetic/arith-review-common-denominators/v/finding-common-denominators https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic/fraction-arithmetic/arith-review-comparing-fractions/v/comparing-fractions https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic/arith-review-multiply-divide/arith-review-multi-digit-mult/v/multiplication-6-multiple-digit-numbers

Topic: Common Denominators
What Your Student is Learning: Finding common denominators for fractions with unlike denominators
Background and Context for Parents: Fractions with unlike denominators can be represented using equivalent fractions with like denominators. For example, Sue wants ½ of a rectangular pan of corn break. Dena wants ⅓ of the same pan of cornbread. How should you cut the corn break so that each girl gets the size portion she wants? Students are encouraged to use models such as rectangles to visualize their fractions. Students learn two ways to find common denominators, as shown below.
Ways to support your student: Write these fraction pairs on a sheet of paper: 2

Topic: Adding & Subtracting Fractions with Unlike Denominators
What Your Student is Learning: Adding & subtracting fractions with unlike denominators using equivalent fractions with a a common denominator
Background and Context for Parents: This is mostly new information for your child. They have had practice adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators, as well as finding common denominators, which leads up to this lesson. Fractions with unlike denominators can be added or subtracted by replacing them with equivalent fractions that have common denominators, which they learned how to find in the previous lesson. Your child is learning how to replace given fractions with equivalent fractions with like denominators. To add 1
2and 1
3, for example, first rename 1
2as 3
6 , and 1
3as 2
6, and then add the
numerators 3 and 2. The sum of 1
2and 1
3is
5
6.
Students can first use fraction strips to further their understanding of equivalent fractions and common denominators, either drawing on paper, using cut outs of provided fraction strips, or using online fraction strips. After using models, students learn to add and subtract without the use of a mode by finding a common denominator using the least common multiple, generating equivalent fractions, and adding or subtracting the numerators.
Ways to support your student: ● Review some of the vocabulary terms with your child, like common denominator, least
common multiple, equivalent fraction, benchmark fraction, etc. Have them explain these terms to you in their own language.
● Play the following game with your child in which the players add or fractions Step 1: Make a set of fraction cards with one fraction shown on each card. Use fractions with numerators 1 through 5 and denominators 2 through 6. Step 2: Player 1 turns over two cards and finds the sum of the two fractions shown. Then Player 2 turns over two cards and finds the sum of those two fractions. The player whose fractions have the greater sum wins. Extension: While playing, turn over two cards and find an estimate of the sum of the fractions. Ask your child to explain how he or she used number sense to estimate. Extension: Play the game again, but this time with subtraction. Add in more numbers. Ask questions to support understand: Is their answer reasonable? How do you know?

Topic: Adding & Subtracting Mixed Numbers
What Your Student is Learning: Adding and subtracting mixed numbers is an extension of adding and subtracting fractions.
Background and Context for Parents: Students begin with using models, such as fraction strips, to develop the conceptual understanding of adding mixed numbers by combining fraction strips, starting with the fraction parts. This can include those requiring regrouping.
Similarly, students develop understanding of subtracting mixed numbesr by representing the first fraction with fraction strips and then taking away fraction strips representing the second one. Eventually, students are able to add and subtract mixed numbers without models.
Ways to support your student: ● Write these problems on a piece of paper. 3 2

to show each mixed number in the first problems using fraction strips. Have them complete the second problem on their own.
● Ask your child to explain how adding mixed numbers is like adding fractions and whole numbers.
● See if your child can teach you how to model an addition or subtraction problem using fraction strips. (Fraction strips are very helpful so your child can physically exchange parts for wholes and wholes for parts). Because they won’t always have fraction strips, they might practice drawing the strips to model the problem.
● For the practice problems, be selective in which problems to give since there are a ton of problems. Also, while the directions say for 1-12 to use fraction strips, if your child demonstrates how to use them, they do not need to use them for all problems.

Topic: Multiplying Fractions and Whole Numbers
What Your Student is Learning: How to multiply fractions and whole numbers
Background and Context for Parents: These lessons are a review from 4th grade, but your child will need a solid understanding of multiplying whole numbers and fractions to multiplying fractions by fractions. They also did not have to “simplify” the fraction or write them as mixed numbers, which they need to do now. On page 33, they use models and repeated addition to multiply a fraction by a whole number. Help your child connect to their understanding of multiplication as it applies to whole numbers:
● Multiplication is repeated addition (6 x ¼ = ¼ + ¼ + ¼…) ● Multiplication is groups of things (6 x ¼ is 6 groups of ¼)
On page 34, we start to think about mutliplying by a fraction as finding a fractional part of something. Conceptually, multiplying a whole number by a fraction is very different, since the number of groups is a fraction.
Ways to support your student: ● Talk about cookies! We typically represent fractions with three models: number lines,
area models, and sets of objects. Tell your child you have 12 cookies. How would they find out how many ¼ of those 12 cookies are.
● Help your child think about the denominator as telling them how many equal parts to break the total into, and the numerator telling them how many of those equal parts they need.
● Encourage your child to use models to make sense of the math problem, and ask them what their model represents.
● Ask your child to convince you how 4
9× 6 and6 ×

Topic: Multiplying Two Fractions
What Your Student is Learning: How to mutiply two fractions and extending it to mixed numbers
Background and Context for Parents: After thinking and practicing multiplying whole numbers and fractions, students move to applying the same meaning to multiplying a fraction by a fraction. Your child may have assumed that multiplying numbers always makes them larger, and dividing always makes a number smaller. He or she may be surprised at first that multiplying a number by a fraction less than 1 gives a product that is less than the original number, not more. Your student will also need to understand that ⅓ of a number means ⅓ times that number and is a way of expressing multiplication. On page 41, they think about multiplying two fractions using models, such as a number line or an area model. Using an area model also helps develop understanding of finding the area of a rectangle wth fractional side lengths, and multiplying mixed numbers with partial products.
Number Line Model Area Model
On page 42, After using models, they learn to multiply two fractions symbolically. To find the product of two fractions, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators.

Students should see the connection between this and what they have been previously doing. The entire unit is multiplying, just working with different numbers. On page 44, they extend their knowledge of multiplying fractions to mixed numbers in two different ways. They can:
● use a model with partial products, as shown in the model (Students are familiar with area models using partial products. In the same way they can break apart 23 x 34 into a 20 + 3 dimension and a 30 + 4 dimension, we can break mixed numbers apart into whole and fraction dimentions)
● Change each mixed number to an improper fraction
Ways to support your student: ● Make dinner or dessert a math lesson. There was ¼ of a pan of lasagna left. Tom ate
⅓ of this amount. What fraction of a whole pan of lasagna did he eat? Have your child demonstrate how to solve the problem and explain their reasoning.
● Have your child draw you an area model representing a fraction multiplication, and then create a story problem to go with the model.
● Each of the figures below represents the number 1 divided into fractional parts. Ask your child to shade a part of each figure on the left to represent the fraction above it. In the figure on the right, ask your child to shade only a part of the area he or she shaded before, so as to represent the fract of a fraction above it. Ask your child to use the figures to describe how the shading changed from the left to the right figure. Have him or her write a new fraction for the figure on the right.
● If your child is having trouble starting with a problem, encourage them to use a model
to solve the problem by asking questions like, “What model could you use to solve this problem?” (Area model) “How many rows would you need?” “How many
70
41
columns?””What part represents the product in the area model?” ● Pull out an old family recipe or look one up on your phone (preferably one with
fractions or mixed numbers :)). Ask your child what would be needed if you doubled the recipe? Tripled? What about 2 ½ times the amount? Let your child lead the talk.

Topic: Multiplication as Scaling
What Your Student is Learning: How to judge the size of a product based on the size of the factors
Background and Context for Parents: A fraction, mixed number, or whole number is often used a scaling factor. A scaling factor shows by how much another number, which represents size , is increased or decreased. An Example, “Raden walked 2 miles. Amanda walked ½ that distance.” (½ is the scaling factor) “A photo is 5 inches wide. Its enlargement is 2 times as wide” (2 is the scaling factor) Students are developing an understanding of how to judge the size of a product (the answer) based on the size of the factors (each number). This is largely conceptual, as they are making a general decision based on what they know about a number. Encourage them to make a decision without doing the math. Then, they can do the math to check their work. Students need to understand three key points
1. Multiplying a number by a fraction less than one results in a product less than the given number (Ex: 𝟑
𝟒× 7 < 7)
2. Multiplying a number by a fraction greater than one results in a product greater than the given number (Ex: 1 1
2× 5 > 5)
3. Multiplying a number by a fraction equal to one results in a product equal to the given number (Ex: 3
3× 5 = 5)
Ways to support your student: ● Talk to your child about various situations where something
stretches or shrinks. ● Write the following fractions on a piece of paper. Have your student
order the products from least to greatest without actually multiplying. Have a conversation with them about how they decided the order of the products. After, have them perform the actual multiplication to see if their decisions make sense.
● Ask questions to probe their thinking as they complete the problem sets. When they give explanations, ask them “Why? How do you know? Is that always true?”
