Young Mathematicians at Work Exploring Parks and Playgrounds Day 2: Relationship Between Multiplication and Division of Fractions
4-6




The context of designing a playground is used to support the development of specific mathematical ideas about the commutative property of multiplication with rational numbers, about the use of the word “of ” to denote multiplication, and about fractional parts in relation to a changing whole. The students investigate the problem of determining whether one lot has more blacktop, exploring equivalent, but not necessarily, congruent areas. The playground context supports students' use of an array model for multiplication, and the focus shifts to the commutative and associative properties.
