Essential Question How do I multiply different types of fractions?
How do we multiply fractions? To multiply fractions, multiply numerators together and denominators together. Write as a fraction and reduce if possible. Always leave fractions as improper unless told otherwise.
Example
Whole Numbers Change whole numbers into fractions then multiply like before. Examples:
Worksheet Complete the assignment individually then turn in to the purple tray at the back. Remember CHAMPS if you need help: – Refer to notes – Ask a neighbor – Then raise your hand
Extension Multiply 2/3 by its reciprocal. (Think…what is a reciprocal?)
Reflection (left side) How will mastering fractions help us with reviewing linear functions next week? (Think about how you graph linear functions with slope and y-intercept and what you do if the function is not in slope-intercept form.)
