🎯 Learning Goal

I can... multiply fractions with unlike denominators and simplify my answers correctly.

Success Criteria:

✅ I can multiply the numerators together.
✅ I can multiply the denominators together.
✅ I can simplify my answer to lowest terms.
✅ I can convert improper fractions to mixed numbers when needed.

📌 Remember: To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together, then multiply the denominators together. Always simplify your answer! Example: 1/2 × 2/3 = (1×2)/(2×3) = 2/6 = 1/3

🔵 Dyslexia-Friendly Tip: Use your finger or a ruler to track each problem one at a time. Read each fraction aloud before solving.

🟡 Extra Support: Use fraction tiles or draw a model to help visualize the multiplication before solving.

🟢 Early Finishers: Try solving problems 8–10 using cross-cancellation (simplifying before multiplying). Does it give the same answer?
