Summary

What if you set the stage for students to discover how to multiply fractions?

  1. First, we let students discover a pattern using three simple examples. They'll work out a fourth example.
  2. We check the pattern and then complicate things a bit by using three new examples with products that need to be simplified.
  3. We rewrite our pattern to include the "simplify" step and then students practice with three examples.
  4. I give the solutions and then leave students with one final, even more complex fraction problem!
