The process of renaming,
comparing and calculating with
the various fraction forms and
establishing proportional
reasoning
Arrays help with why the
parts are added, place value
and renaming in multiplication,
addition and subtraction
Arrays provide understanding
of how ones multiply with ones
to give ones, ones multiply with
tens to give tens, tens multiply
with tens to give hundreds, and
so on
Developing the concepts, basic facts and
algorithms used in multiplication and
division
critical to develop
algebraic thinking for
later formal algebra in
high school
Renaming occurs between mixed
numbers and improper fractions
MULTIPLICATION
Uses arrays
Uses place
value
repeated addition
e.g. shows 3 fives
and 5 threes and
moves away from
5 + 5 +5
