Multiplying Fractions

We are currently working on MULTIPLYING FRACTIONS in class. Sure, the simple standard algorithm is easy. All you have to do is multiply across. However, we are focusing more on WHY and HOW to multiply fractions and not WHAT to do. Focusing more on conceptual understanding will ensure long-term knowledge. Below is a link to a website that will help YOU help your student with multiplication of fractions or students can review them for help. Here are also two videos of some of our students solving a fraction multiplication problem.

I will never abandon the belief that all students can and have the right to learn. I will encourage my students to succeed and never be made to think they cannot conquer challenges.

In pursuit of being a good teacher I will never stop being a good student. I will continue to develop my own knowledge and skills. I will stay open to change and new ideas, especially the ideas of my students.
