Lesson 10

In this lesson, children multiply fractions and mixed numbers by integers. They will use diagrams and bar models to help them visualise the multiplication as repeated addition, and will partition mixed numbers into wholes and fractions before multiplying. Children will learn that the denominator stays the same and only the numerator is multiplied. There is a teaching presentation and differentiated resources with a range of fluency, reasoning and problem solving questions.
