Fractions | Multiply Fractions and Convert to Mixed Numbers
Multiplying Fractions by Whole Numbers (with Word Problems) | Convert Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers
16 Step-by-Step Math Lessons | Special Education Math Intervention | Fourth Grade Math Level
This Multiplying Fractions and Converting Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers lesson workbook includes an example IEP goal, 16 step-by-step math lessons, a review and assessment. This evidence-based math intervention is tied to fourth grade standards and is great for special education math goals and tier 2 small group math interventions (RTI).
These sequential lessons are easy to teach, with enough material for 3+ weeks of instruction!
These lessons introduce students to multiplying fractions. Multiplying proper fractions can be introduced after students have learned to add and subtract fractions with like denominators. A mix of multiplication, addition, and subtraction problems are included. Students must learn to discriminate between the multiplication strategy (multiply across the top and bottom) and the addition/subtraction strategy (work only across the top).
An additional skill, converting improper fractions to mixed and whole numbers, is also taught in this workbook. Students learn to recognize when a fraction is greater than 1 and then divide to find the equivalent mixed or whole number. Picture models are used in several lessons to promote understanding of concepts behind the steps.
Word problems involving multiplying a fraction and a whole number are included. Plenty of space and visual structure is given for students to multiply and then divide if necessary to convert the answer to a mixed number. Students are not asked to reduce fractions in this workbook.

About the Author
Hi! I am a Special Education & Title 1 teacher interested in task analysis. My resources break tasks into small and explicit steps, reducing cognitive load for learners so they can feel successful and confident rather than overwhelmed and reluctant to try. I strive to lighten the workload of teachers by making resources as practical and easy-to-use as possible. I sincerely hope my work can benefit you and your students.
I appreciate your support and feedback.
