Lessons tagged with "multiplicative+inverse"

This number system lesson covers how to determine the multiplicative inverse of a number. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify the given number, then determine its multiplicative inverse by switching the numerator and denominator. Finally, they interpret what it means, showing that a given number times it’s multiplicative inverse equals one.

This ratios and proportional relationships lesson covers how to compute unit rates (complex fraction ratios). The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students create an equivalent ratio table using given units and quantities. They identify the unit quantity, determine the multiplicative inverse which produces one, and then apply the multiplicative inverse to the other quantity. Finally, they interpret the unit rate.
