Introductionmaf806fe2510ffd5c_1528450127855_0Introduction

The students bring 24 identical small objects, for example balls made of modelling clay or the bottle caps.

The teacher informs the students that they are going to practice multiplying fractions by a natural numbernatural numbernatural number.

Proceduremaf806fe2510ffd5c_1528446435040_0Procedure

The students listen to the story of “The Rome merchant” told by the teacher.

The Rome merchant went to faraway places to buy ambers. Before he left, he had offered some gifts to the gods to make benefits during the dangerous journey. He gave 24 denarii for this purpose and he started his journey.

The students imagine they are Rome merchants. They prepare 24 denarii (e.g. balls of modelling clay), they visit the temples and leave the following amount of the denarii in each place:

The teacher shows the following board:

The MERKURY temple – you should leave for yourself only 13 of your money.

The NEPTUN temple – you should leave for yourself only 12 of your money.

The JUPITER temple - you should leave for yourself only 14 of your money.

The students write the answers to the following questions:

- How many denarii did the merchant have after he had made the offerings in all the temples?
- How many denarii did he leave in each temple?
- What part of 24 denarii was left in each temple?

Then the students repeat the journey visiting the temples in a different order. They answer the questions again and discuss what answers depend on the order of visiting the temples.

Task

The students watch the slideshow. They are going to watch how common fractions are multiplied by the natural numbers.

Conclusion:

To multiply the fraction by a natural numbernatural numbernatural number, we multiply the numerator by the natural number (the denominator remains the same).

Task

The students multiply the fractions by the natural numbers. They write the result in the simplest formsimplest formsimplest form

a) 3·27=

b) 45·3=

c) 24·16=

d) 56·12=

Task

The students use different ways to multiply the natural number by the mixed numbermixed numbermixed number.

The bag of the KIT cat food weighs 225 kg. How many kilos do 5 of these bags weigh?

The students come up with following conclusions:

To multiply a natural number by the mixed number, we convert the mixed number into an improper fraction and then we multiply the natural number by the fraction we have got.

Using the equation 31231·248=840, calculate the productproductproduct of 31231·124.

Lesson summarymaf806fe2510ffd5c_1528450119332_0Lesson summary

The students do the summarising tasks.

Then they sum up the class by drawing the conclusions to memorise:

- To multiply the fraction by a natural number, we multiply the numerator by the natural number (the denominator remains the same).maf806fe2510ffd5c_1527752263647_0- To multiply the fraction by a natural number, we multiply the numerator by the natural number (the denominator remains the same).

- When we multiply the natural number the operation is easier.

- To multiply a natural number by the mixed number, we convert the mixed number into an improper fraction and then we multiply the natural number by the fraction we have got.
- To multiply a natural number by a mixed number, we multiply the natural number by the whole part of the mixed number and the fraction, and then we add the obtained results.
maf806fe2510ffd5c_1527752256679_0- To multiply a natural number by the mixed number, we convert the mixed number into an improper fraction and then we multiply the natural number by the fraction we have got.
- To multiply a natural number by a mixed number, we multiply the natural number by the whole part of the mixed number and the fraction, and then we add the obtained results.
