To help make multiplying fractions easier to understand, I found some fun games and activities. Here are three that are really engaging:
Fraction War: Grab a deck of cards! Each player flips over two cards to create a fraction (for example, 3/5). Then, everyone multiplies the top number (numerator) and the bottom number (denominator) of their fractions. The player with the highest answer wins that round.
Pizza Party: Let's make some pizza models! You can cut them into different fractions. When you're "cooking" your pizza, you can multiply fractions to decide how much of a topping you want. For example, if you want half a pizza with a third of pepperoni, you would do .
Fraction Bingo: Use bingo cards filled with fractions. The caller shouts out problems like "," and players mark the answers on their cards.
These activities make learning about fractions fun and help everyone get better at multiplying them!
