Multiplying Mixed Numbers
First Step:
Discusses on how to find 1/2 of 8.
• Provides each pair of pupils with 8 picture cards.
• Asks pupils to divide the cards equally into 2 groups.
• Question them, “How many picture cards do you have in each group?” (4 cards)
• Teacher explains that 1/2 of 8 is 4.

Let use this example to practice:

Method 1: Using diagram
Displays a picture of whole numbers as grouping sets of objects.

• Explains 1 1/2 x 100 × means “We want one and a half sets of 100”.
• Shaded the objects based on the portion; 1 1/2 groups of 100 objects.

-
Above diagram shows that a group consists of 100 objects.
-
1/2 of a group consists of 50 objects.
-
So the total objects is 100 + 50 = 150
Method 2: Using calculation method
Let see this example:

Solution 1:

Solution 2
• Separate the whole number and fraction into two columns respectively.
• Then, multiply the whole number and the fraction with the multiplier separately.

Here are some questions for you to try.
