problem_activity: Stage 2: Multiply a Fraction by a Whole Number
Required Preparation
Materials to Gather
Number cubes
Materials to Copy
Blackline Masters
Rolling for Fractions Stage 2 Recording Sheet

Narrative
Students roll 3 number cubes to generate a multiplication expression with a whole number and a fraction and compare the value of the expression to 1 in order to determine how many points are earned. Two recording sheets are provided, one where the fraction is a unit fraction and one where it can be any fraction.
Variation:
Students may choose a different target number to compare the value of their expression to.
Task Statement
Each group of 2 needs 3 number cubes.
