What children learn in Level 68
- You know that 3 times 2 means 3 groups of 2. So 5 times 1 fourth means 5 groups of 1 fourth.
- Count them by jumping on a number line: 1 fourth, 2 fourths, all the way to 5 fourths.
- That's the same as 1 and 1 fourth. Multiplying adds up equal parts, just as it does with whole numbers.
