Multiply one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in the range of 10–90 using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.

Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.

Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line.

Represent a fraction 1/b (unit fraction) on a number line by defining the interval from 0 to 1 as the whole and partitioning it into b equal parts.<ul><li>Recognize each part has size 1/b.</li><li>a unit fraction, 1/b is located 1/b of a whole unit from 0 on the number line.</li></ul>
