Curriculum: Number And Operations - Fractions: Build Fractions From Unit Fractions By Applying And Extending Previous Understandings Of Operations On Whole Numbers.

Detail: Understand a multiple of a/b as a multiple of 1/b, and use this understanding to multiply a fraction by a whole number. For example, use a visual fraction model to express 3 x (2/5) as 6 x (1/5), recognizing this product as 6/5. (In general, n x (a/b) = (n x a)/b.)
