Fractions: Booklet 6
Fractions: Booklet 6
Fractions: Booklet 6 – Multiplication from Pattern Press is a hands-on math curriculum resource designed to help students deeply understand fraction multiplication through visual models, manipulatives, and discovery-based learning.
This booklet pair includes a 40-page Parent/Teacher Guide and a 52-page Student Workbook, along with a Colored Acetate set included in the price. Instead of teaching fraction multiplication as a memorized procedure, the Patterns in Arithmetic approach guides students to explore how fractions work through parts of wholes, iterative addition, manipulatives, and pattern-based reasoning.
Students physically build and model fraction concepts before moving into recording and symbolic representation. Through guided exploration and carefully sequenced lessons, learners begin to understand why fraction multiplication works, not just how to compute answers mechanically.
The Parent/Teacher Guide includes teaching instructions, games, sample dialogues, lesson support, and the Answer Key. The Student Workbook includes worksheets and practice pages that reinforce understanding through hands-on mathematical thinking.
