Mrs. Reeg's Math Class News
Week of January 5, 2016
This Week In Math:
This week we continued to practice how to model multiplication of fractions. We worked on story problems with multiplication of fractions with whole numbers or fractions. We also learned how to multiply improper fractions by a fraction. Next week we will learn how to multiply and model mixed numbers and whole numbers. There will be a quiz next week on multiplication of fractions before we move into division of fractions. Below I have included two videos. The first video explains how to multiply fractions with whole numbers. The second video explains how to multiply mixed numbers together.
