What educators are saying

Love the graphic and the interactive slides. Perfect to teach through with struggling learners and perfect for independent work!
Great resource!! My students were able to work on this activity in a small group setting and they felt confident.

Description

Fraction multiplication makes way more sense when students can visualize why their answer are what they are. With these modeling and coloring activities, students can see and understand how fraction multiplication works, using area models. Students will also understand why their products are less than the original factors.

Using Area Models to Multiply Fractions - I recommend using this as a teaching tool, right along with the students. Check out the Preview so you can see how the activities are scaffolded. Also, this bundle now includes a Google Slides version! Kids can "build" models by dragging and dropping fraction pieces on the screens!

Fraction Multiplication Area Models Homework - Students match models, shade models, draw models, and get introduced to word problems. This resources is also included as a Google Slides version! Kids can "build" models by dragging and dropping fraction tiles.

Bump Game - Students identify fraction area model expressions and find the products in this fast-paced, low prep game.

Quiz - This fully editable 5-question quiz is a great way to check students' understanding.

Keys to all the worksheets are included!

Special thanks goes to Kimberly Geswein for the font! Check out her shop full of fun, cheerful fonts!

Interpret the product (๐˜ข/๐˜ฃ) ร— ๐˜ฒ as a parts of a partition of ๐˜ฒ into ๐˜ฃ equal parts; equivalently, as the result of a sequence of operations ๐˜ข ร— ๐˜ฒ รท ๐˜ฃ. For example, use a visual fraction model to show (2/3) ร— 4 = 8/3, and create a story context for this equation. Do the same with (2/3) ร— (4/5) = 8/15. (In general, (๐˜ข/๐˜ฃ) ร— (๐˜ค/๐˜ฅ) = ๐˜ข๐˜ค/๐˜ฃ๐˜ฅ.)
Explaining why multiplying a given number by a fraction greater than 1 results in a product greater than the given number (recognizing multiplication by whole numbers greater than 1 as a familiar case); explaining why multiplying a given number by a fraction less than 1 results in a product smaller than the given number; and relating the principle of fraction equivalence ๐˜ข/๐˜ฃ = (๐˜ฏร—๐˜ข)/(๐˜ฏร—๐˜ฃ) to the effect of multiplying ๐˜ข/๐˜ฃ by 1.
Solve real world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.
