Make learning visible! Have your mathematicians follow along as you use paper strips to demonstrate the concept of multiplying unit fractions. Then, offer a different way of solving the problem using a number line. Finally, introduce the standard algorithm. The class then finds an expression to describe a situation where multiplying unit fractions is relevant, and they complete related word problems.
