Multiplication as Scaling and Resizing Numbers Game
When you multiply 6 by 3/4, will the product be larger or smaller than 6?
Larger, because multiplication always makes numbers biggerSmaller, because 3/4 is less than 1Equal to 6It depends on how you solve itIf you multiply 8 by 5/3, the product will be:
Smaller than 8Equal to 8Larger than 8Cannot be determinedA recipe calls for 2 cups of flour. If you multiply the recipe by 1/2, how will the new amount compare to the original?
It will be twice as muchIt will be half as muchIt will stay the sameIt will be three times as muchWhen you multiply a number by 3/2, the product will be:
Always smaller than the original numberAlways equal to the original numberAlways larger than the original numberSometimes larger, sometimes smallerIf you multiply 10 by 1/5, the result will be:
250515Which multiplication will result in a product larger than 12?
12 × 1/312 × 1/212 × 5/412 × 3/4A photo is scaled by a factor of 2/3. The new photo will be:
Larger than the originalSmaller than the originalThe same size as the originalTwice the original sizeWhen will multiplying by a fraction result in a larger number?
When the fraction is less than 1When the fraction is greater than 1When the fraction is equal to 1NeverIf you multiply 15 by 4/3, the product will be:
2011.25455Which statement is true about multiplication as scaling?
Multiplication always makes numbers biggerMultiplying by a number less than 1 makes the result smallerMultiplying by a fraction always results in a smaller numberMultiplication and addition have the same effect on numbersABOUT MULTIPLICATION AS SCALING AND RESIZING NUMBERS GAME
This engaging interactive game helps students understand multiplication as scaling (resizing) through real-world contexts and visual representations. Students explore how multiplying a number by a fraction or whole number changes its value, developing critical mathematical reasoning skills.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Compare the size of a product to the size of one factor based on the size of the other factor
- Explain why multiplying a given number by a fraction greater than 1 results in a larger number
- Understand why multiplying by a fraction less than 1 results in a smaller number
- Apply scaling concepts to solve real-world problems
