Multiplying Fractions

We have spent two weeks working on multiplying fractions.  We have reviewed terms such as: numerator, denominator, mixed numbers and improper fractions.  We have multiplied fractions by whole numbers and fractions by fractions.  We have modeled using rectangles, circles, number lines and counters.  Here is the beginning of our "How-to" project that the students are doing.  They are creating an instruction manual for others that can help them with multiplying fractions.  We wanted to use the computers to open up our presentation options but...alas...none availabe.  Next time!
