Multiplication In Disguise

Activity Overview

In this activity, students explore the transformation of a division problem into a multiplication problem. Students will see the transformation of dividing whole numbers as well as fractions. They also use the numerical algorithm used to divide fractions to discover patterns.

Key Steps

In the first part of the activity, students will compare related division and multiplication problems for both whole numbers and fractions. From this comparison, students will determine how to change a division problem into a multiplication problem.
Discuss the material from the activity pages with students as needed.
