FRACTIONS THE WHOLE STORY Dr. Rena Gibbs Amy Edmundson
What does it mean to invert and multiply ?
Lets say we want to divide a whole number by a fraction. For example 7 1 1 3
7 1 1 3 This is a visual representation of the first part of our equation seven wholes .
7 1 1 3 This is a visual representation of the number 7 divided by 1 3 .
7 1 1 3 So this division problem is really asking us How many 1/3rds can we fit into the seven wholes?
7 1 1 3 = 21 So because twenty-one 1/3rds fit into seven wholes.
We can verify this result in many ways, but the most common way taught in schools is to invert and multiply : 7 1 1 3 is equivalent to 7 1 x 3 1 = 21 Because1 3fits in each whole three times. We have seven wholes that we multiply by the three that fit into each whole and 7 times 3 is 21, therefore 7 1 x 3 1 = 21
MEMORIZATION VS. CONCEPTUALIZATION 7 1 OR there are three 1 1 3 = 7 3 1 1 Copy, dot, flip OR each whole . 3rds in So how do we build this conceptual understanding? By starting at the beginning
