Mastering Multiplying Mixed Numbers

The video tutorial guides students through their homework on multiplying mixed numbers using three strategies: Yuri's break apart method, Takota's improper fraction conversion, and model verification. The teacher explains each method with examples, emphasizing the importance of active participation in IXL homework. Students are encouraged to submit their work via Camy or by sending a picture if done on paper.

What is the required amount of active work time on IXL?

• 10 minutes

• 7 minutes

• 5 minutes

• 15 minutes

Which strategy involves breaking apart the whole number and fraction before multiplying?

• None of the above

• Model strategy

• Takota's strategy

• Yuri's strategy

What is the result of 2/3 * 1 and 5/6 using Yuri's break apart strategy?

• 1 and 2/9

• 1 and 3/4

• 1 and 1/3

• 1 and 1/2

How do you convert a mixed number to an improper fraction in Takota's strategy?

• Subtract the fraction from the whole number

• Divide the numerator by the denominator

• Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator

• Add the whole number and fraction

What is the final answer for 4/5 * 2 and 1/2 using the break apart strategy?

• 1 and 1/2

• 2

• 3

What is the common denominator used in the second problem (4/5 * 2 and 1/2)?

• 20

• 10

• 5

• 15

What is the result of 3/4 * 3 and 1/3 using the break apart strategy?

• 2 and 2/3

• 2 and 3/4

• 2 and 1/2

• 2 and 1/3

How do you verify the answer using a model in the third problem (3/4 * 3 and 1/3)?

• By converting to improper fractions

• By using a calculator

• By adding the whole numbers first

• By drawing squares and shading parts

What should you do if you complete the homework on paper?

• Submit it in class the next day

• Email a picture of it to the teacher
