Definition notes:
Fraction:A ratio of two values, numbers, or expressions. It is written in the form a/b, where b is not equal to 0.
Multiplication: repeated addition
Intent Statement: Demonstrate a fractional amount multiplied by a whole number less than 10.
  1. Most Complex Level (at the level as written):
  • Content Target: Using a fractional amount, the student will multiply (use repeated addition) with a number less than 10 and demonstrate the solution
  • Example: Using verbal, demonstrative and written responses, when given several measuring cups of amounts such as and/or cups. Also provide the student the equation: X 3 =
Ask the student to solve the problem but computation or by showing cup
Use anything available to measure. Provide a bowl or area to empty the selected cup and track the measurements
  1. Mid-Complex Level:
  • Content Target: when given the solution and a visual/object tool, the student will demonstrate repeated addition of a simple fraction.
  • Example: Using a verbal and/or demonstrative responses, when given a 1/4 cup measuring cup, the student will be told the recipe asks for . Use the cup measuring cup to make



¼ cup How many = ¾ cup
  1. Least Complex Level:
  • Content Target: When given visual/object, modeling and verbal support, the student will demonstrate multiplication of a fractional amount using repeated addition
  • Example: Using ingredients that can be scooped and are familiar to the student. Tell the student you need ¾ cup. Model first and say aloud: 3 scoops is the same as ¼ cup three times, which is the same as ¾ cups.
Provide the student with a quarter measuring cup and the materials. Measure three scoops with the student together. Then, ask the student to show you ¼ cup three times.
