Multiplying Fractions by Fractions WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 5th Grade
CCSS: 5.NF.B.4
CCSS Description: Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction. a. Interpret the product (a/b) × q as a parts of a partition of q into b equal parts; equivalently, as the result of a sequence of operations a × q ÷ b. For example, use a visual fraction model to show (2/3) × 4 = 8/3, and create a story context for this equation. Do the same with (2/3) × (4/5) = 8/15. (In general, (a/b) × (c/d) = ac/bd.) b. Find the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths by tiling it with unit squares of the appropriate unit fraction side lengths, and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths. Multiply fractional side lengths to find areas of rectangles, and represent fraction products as rectangular areas.
Multiplying Fractions by Fractions WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Truly strengthen your students’ understanding of the process of multiplying fractions with this varied worksheet. The multiple sections here will mean no learner gets bored practicing this seemingly ‘easy’ skill.
Section A is a perfect conversation starter between student and teacher or between peers, as it encourages students to think about "the why" and "the what" is changing with these carefully chosen questions.
Practice fluency in section B’s multiplication grid and section C’s fill the gaps task.
Allow students to articulate their knowledge in section D with this ‘spot, explain and correct the mistakes’ activity.
Now, really challenge your learners with the algebraic fractions in section E and the tricky puzzles in section F.
