Multiplying Fractions in Word Problems
Multiplying Fractions in Word Problems
The fraction multiplication journey continues — this week on to word problems. Encourage your child to read each word problem twice before attempting to solve it. Does the answer require a unit of measurement? (Dollars, cups, meters?) Have your child reflect as to whether or not an answer makes sense.
