We are beginning our study of multiplying and dividing fractions. To begin, we need to understand what multiplying a fraction means. Remember what it looked like in class today when I tore the one whole paper in half?
1/2 of one whole = 1/2
1/2 of 2 = ?
1/2 of 15 = ?
Watch these videos to help you VISUALIZE what finding a fraction OF a whole number looks like.

Write out 3 fraction of a whole number problems you saw on the videos on a piece of paper (including the answers) and bring them with you to class tomorrow.
