Curriculum

Check fraction multiplication in mt_AabJisinfi. If mixed-number conversion is uncertain, replay a small example before this lesson. A learner may explain orally; writing speed is not a test of this reasoning. Canonical ages are 10–11, not a readiness guarantee. These activity checks are inferred; source availability is not mastery.

Check learner readiness directly; prerequisite availability is not attainment.

Use the supplied screen sheets or print only the active sheet. A pencil and scrap paper are enough; no printer, purchase, cutting, cooking, food handling or personal disclosure is required. Read Show first, then use Together with support. Put Show and adult keys aside before Try. Stories are fictional; no activity is evidence until the learner actually attempts it. Allow drawing, pointing, oral explanation or adult scribing; record the support actually used. Scribed mathematics is not independent handwriting. Pause or return to a prerequisite when needed, without treating uncertainty as failure.

Name the amount for one full batch and the number of batches. Multiplication scales that amount. A factor below one uses less; a factor above one uses more, for positive amounts. Estimate a sensible range before calculating. Draw whole units with the same size throughout, and state the unit of the product.

Read the Show model aloud while tracing the relevant unit. In Together, invite an attempt before giving the private hint. Ask the learner to explain why the operation fits. For Try, remove worked material and let the learner choose a representation. Discuss mistakes after recording the attempt, then retry another day if useful.

Supplied fixed-unit models make partition size, equal sharing or square-area units visible. Learner diagrams are blank scaffolds or stated givens, not worked answers. Screen or paper drawing serves the purpose; no digital interactive is needed.
