About this game
This engaging interactive math game helps 4th grade students master the concept of multiplying fractions by whole numbers through visual models and real-world scenarios. Students will learn to understand that when multiplying a fraction by a whole number, they can think of it as multiple groups of that fraction or as multiplying the numerator while keeping the denominator the same.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Through this differentiated digital activity, students will:
- Understand how to multiply a fraction by a whole number
- Recognize that n × (a/b) = (n × a)/b
- Use visual fraction models to represent multiplication of fractions
- Connect abstract mathematical concepts to concrete representations
- Apply their understanding to solve real-world problems

Common Core standards covered
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number.
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).
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.)
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?
