Key concepts students will learn:

  • When multiplying fractions, you multiply straight across, so numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

  • To rewrite a whole number as a fraction, put the whole number over one, then multiply straight across.

  • To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator; the remainder becomes the new numerator.
