Series Math Routines with Kristin Gray: Fourth Grade: Multiplication Number String: Fourth Grade

Math.4.NF.B.4a

Common core State Standards

  • Math:  Math
  • 4:  Grade 4
  • NF:  Number & Operations--Fractions
  • B:  Build fractions from unit fractions
  • 4a: 
    Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number.


    a. Understand a fraction a/b as a multiple of 1/b. For example, use a visual fraction model to represent 5/4 as the product 5 × (1/4), recording the conclusion by the equation 5/4 = 5 × (1/4).


    b. Understand a multiple of a/b as a multiple of 1/b, and use this understanding to multiply a fraction by a whole number. For example, use a visual fraction model to express 3 × (2/5) as 6 × (1/5), recognizing this product as 6/5. (In general, n × (a/b) = (n × a)/b.)


    c. Solve word problems involving multiplication of a fraction by a whole number, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, if each person at a party will eat 3/8 of a pound of roast beef, and there will be 5 people at the party, how many pounds of roast beef will be needed? Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie?

    Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 100.
