Multiplying and dividing fractions in Grade 5 Maths involves several different skills, and these eight task card resources give you a way to practise each one separately. From fraction multiplication and area models to unit fraction division and equal sharing problems, the bundle brings together the practice you need when teaching this unit. You can choose a set that matches your current lesson rather than giving the class a mixture of questions before they're ready.

📚 What's Included

Fraction multiplication
• Multiplying fractions by whole numbers, with questions that concentrate on this operation.
• Multiplying fractions by fractions using area models, so students can work with a visual representation of multiplication.
• Finding rectangular areas with fractional side lengths, connecting fraction multiplication to area.
• Fraction multiplication word problems that ask students to apply the operation in written situations.

Scaling and division
• Multiplication as scaling, exploring how multiplying by a fraction affects a quantity.
• Dividing whole numbers by unit fractions, focusing on one direction of unit fraction division.
• Dividing unit fractions by whole numbers, giving the reverse operation its own practice set.
• Fractions as division, using equal sharing word problems to connect fractions with division.

📝 Topics Covered

• Multiplying fractions by whole numbers
• Multiplying fractions by fractions
• Fraction multiplication with area models
• Finding the area of rectangles with fractional side lengths
• Multiplication as scaling
• Fraction multiplication word problems
• Dividing whole numbers by unit fractions
• Dividing unit fractions by whole numbers
• Fractions as division and equal sharing problems

🏫 How Teachers Can Use It

The Grade 5 fraction multiplication task cards work well for Maths centres or independent practice after teaching a particular method. For example, you might start with multiplying fractions by whole numbers, then use the area model task cards when introducing multiplication between two fractions.

For small-group work, pull out the fractional rectangle area cards when students need to connect a calculation with a visual model. The two unit fraction division sets are useful to keep separate, especially when students are confusing dividing a whole number by a unit fraction with dividing a unit fraction by a whole number.

You can also use the fraction word problems and equal sharing task cards for revision once students have practised the individual operations.

💰 Bundle Savings

The eight Grade 5 multiplying and dividing fractions task cards cost $25.60 together, compared with $32.00 if purchased separately. You save $6.40 (20%).

Keeping these fraction multiplication and division task cards in one bundle makes it easier to find practice for the exact skill you're teaching, from scaling and area models to division and equal sharing.
