Why 6th-grade students need to learn how to multiply fractions.

Do you know why 6th-grade students need to learn how to multiply fractions ? Maybe no. This is because, aside from being an essential skill in 6 th Grade, the fractions multiplication concept helps students understand the concept of fractions as parts of a whole and how to combine fractions with different denominators.

Multiplying fractions also prepare 6 th graders for more advanced topics in math, such as ratios, proportions, decimals, and algebra. By learning how to multiply fractions, 6th-grade students can solve real-world problems involving fractions, such as finding the area of a rectangle, scaling a recipe, or dividing a pizza.

How to effectively use Mathskills4kids’ printable worksheets for multiplying fractions

To make the most of Mathskills4kids’ printable worksheets for multiplying fractions , here are some tips:

  • Before giving the worksheets to the students, review the steps and rules for multiplying fractions, such as finding the common denominator, simplifying the fractions, and cross-canceling.
  • Explain the purpose and objectives of each worksheet, and give clear instructions on how to complete it.
  • Monitor the student's progress and provide feedback and guidance as needed.
  • Encourage the students to show their work and explain their reasoning for each problem.
  • Review the worksheets with the whole class and discuss the solutions and strategies used by the students.

Tips for teaching multiplication of fractions

Teaching multiplication of fractions can be challenging but also rewarding. Here are some tips to make it easier and more effective:

  • Start with simple fractions with common denominators that can be easily multiplied mentally or with a calculator.
  • Use concrete examples and contexts that relate to the students' lives and interests, such as sports, music, or food.
  • Use multiple representations and methods to show how to multiply fractions, such as pictures, diagrams, number lines, area models, or algorithms.
  • Connect multiplying fractions to other math concepts and operations that the students already know, such as adding fractions, dividing fractions, or multiplying whole numbers.
  • Scaffold the learning process by gradually increasing the complexity and variety of the problems and fractions.

Common mistakes to avoid when multiplying fractions

When multiplying fractions, 6th-grade students may make mistakes that can affect their accuracy and understanding. Some of the common mistakes to avoid when multiplying fractions are:

  • Forgetting to find the common denominator before multiplying fractions with different denominators.
  • Forgetting to simplify or reduce the fractions before or after multiplying them.
  • Forgetting to cross-cancel or cross-multiply when multiplying fractions in their lowest terms.
  • Confusing the order of operations when multiplying fractions with mixed numbers or other operations.
  • Confusing multiplying fractions with adding or subtracting fractions.

Teachers should emphasize the importance of following the steps and rules for multiplying fractions correctly to avoid these mistakes. They should also model how to check the answers for reasonableness and accuracy.

Multiply fractions: Meaning and example

Fractions are parts of a whole, and multiplying them means finding how many parts of one fraction are in another. For example, if you have 2/3 of a pizza and want to share it with 4 friends, how much pizza does each friend get? To find out, multiply 2/3 by 1/4, i.e., the fraction representing one friend's share.

To multiply fractions, you need to follow these steps:

  • Multiply the numerators (the top numbers) of both fractions. In our example, that would be 2 x 1 = 2.
  • Multiply the denominators (the bottom numbers) of both fractions. In our example, that would be 3 x 4 = 12.
  • Simplify the resulting fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). The GCF is the largest number that can divide both numbers evenly. In our example, the GCF of 2 and 12 is 2, so we divide both by 2 and get 1/6.

The final answer is 1/6, which means each friend gets one-sixth of the pizza. You can check your answer by adding all the fractions and seeing if they equal the original fraction. In our example, if we add up 1/6 four times, we get 4/6, equivalent to 2/3.

Engaging activities and exercises for multiplying fractions

Besides Mathskills4kids’ 6th Grade multiplying fractions worksheets with answers , there are many other fun and engaging activities and exercises that can help 6th-grade students practice multiplying fractions, such as:

  • Playing games that involve multiplying fractions, such as bingo, dominoes, or card games.
  • Using manipulatives representing fractions, such as fraction strips, fraction circles, or fraction bars.
  • Creating posters or presentations illustrating fractions multiplication using visual models or real-life examples.
  • Making crafts or recipes that require multiplying fractions , such as paper snowflakes, origami animals, or cookies.
  • Taking quizzes or tests that assess the student's understanding and skills in multiplying fractions.

More fun and engaging activities and exercises to improve 6 th grader’s multiplying fractions skills are:

To play, one person draws a fraction card and reads it aloud. Then, everyone multiplies the fraction by another fraction of their choice and looks for the answer on their bingo card. The first person to get five answers in a row, column, or diagonal wins.

To play, shuffle the dominoes and deal seven to each player. The rest of the dominoes form the draw pile. The first player places a domino on the table. Then, each player takes turns placing a domino next to an existing one so that the fraction product on one end matches the fraction on the other.

If a player cannot place a domino, they will draw one from the pile. The game ends when one player runs out of dominoes or when no one can place a domino. The player with the least number of dominoes left wins.

They will need a set of fraction puzzle pieces to be made or bought online. To do this activity, choose a puzzle and separate the pieces. Then, solve each fraction multiplication problem on the pieces and find the matching piece with the answer. Fit the pieces together until the picture is complete.

Multiplying Fractions Questions with Solutions

Now let us solve questions on the multiplication of fractions.

Question 1:

Solve the following:

(ii) 9/7 × ⅜

(iii) ⅘ × ⅚

= (2 × 3)/(3 × 5)

= 6/15 reducing the fraction to the lowest form

= (9 × 3)/(7 × 8)

\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{4}{\not{5}}\times \frac{\not{{5}}}{6}\end{array} \)

= 4/6 reducing the fraction to the lowest form

Question 2:

Simplify the following:

(i) 2½ × 3⅓

(ii) 3¼ × 5 2 / 9

(iii) 4 1 / 7 × 3 1 / 8

Converting the mixed fraction into the improper fraction

= 5/2 × 10/3

= 25/3 = 8⅓.

(ii) 3 1 / 4 × 5 2 / 9

= 13/4 × 47/9

= (13 × 47)/(4 × 9)

\(\begin{array}{l}=16\frac{35}{36}\end{array} \)

= 29/7 × 25/8

= (29 × 25)/(7 × 8)

\(\begin{array}{l}=12\frac{53}{56}\end{array} \)

Also, Refer:

  • Mixed to Improper Fractions
  • Mixed to Improper Fraction Calculator
  • Improper to Mixed Fraction Calculator

Question 3:

Work out the following and express them in the simplest form:

(i) 22/3 ÷ 11/5

(ii) 34/35 ÷ 6/7

(iii) 56/3 ÷ 9/17

Convert the division into multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the divisor fraction

= 22/3 × 5/11

= 34/35 × 7/6

\(\begin{array}{l}=1\frac{2}{15}\end{array} \)

= 56/3 × 17/9

\(\begin{array}{l}=35\frac{7}{27}\end{array} \)

Question 4:

(i) 26 × 1/13 ÷ 5/169

(ii) 6.4 × ⅘ ÷ ⅔

(iii) 2.98 ÷ ¾ × ⅖

According to the BODMAS rule, we first perform division followed by multiplication.

= 26 × (1/13 ÷ 5/169)

= 26 × (1/13 × 169/5)

= 26 × 13/5

\(\begin{array}{l}=67\frac{3}{5}\end{array} \)

= 64/10 × (⅘ ÷ ⅔)

= 64/10 × (⅘ × 3/2)

= 64/10 × 6/5

\(\begin{array}{l}=7\frac{17}{25}\end{array} \)

= (298/100 ÷ 3/4) × ⅖

= (298/100 × 4/3) × ⅖

= 298/(25 × 3) × ⅖

= 298/75 × ⅖

Question 5:

The length and the width of a rectangular park are 39/4 m and 25/3 m, respectively. Find the area of the park.

Length of the park = 39/4

Width of the park = 25/3

Area of the rectangular park = 39/4 × 25/3

= (13 × 25)/4 = 325/4 = 81.25 m 2 .

Question 6:

A household has an overhead water tank of 1000 litres. Every day 4/5th of the tank is used for household purposes. Find the amount of water needed for a week.

The capacity of the tank = 1000 litres

Amount of water used everyday = 4/5th of 1000 litres

= ⅘ × 1000 = 4 × 200 = 800 litres

Amount of water required for a week = 7 × 800 = 5600 litres.

Question 7:

A farmer plants the sapling of a plant at a uniform distance of 5/3 cm. If he plants 27 such saplings in a row, find the total distance between the first and the last sapling.

Distance between each sapling = 5/3 cm

Number of saplings in a row = 27

Distance between first and the last sapling = 5/3 × 27 = 5 × 9 = 45 cm.

Question 8:

The area of the triangle is 145/3 cm 2 . If the base length of the triangle is ⅔ cm, find the height of the triangle.

The base of the triangle = ⅔ cm

Area of the triangle = ½ × base × height = 145/3 cm 2

⇒ ½ × ⅔ × height = 145/3

⇒ height = 145/3 ÷ ⅓

⇒ height = 145/3 × 3 = 145 cm

Question 9:

Find the following:

(i) 2/5th of a day.

(ii) ¼th of a kilometre.

(iii) 3/4th of a year.

(i) 2/5th of a day

Now, 1 day = 24 hours

⅖ × 24 hours = 48/5

= 9.6 hours

= 9 hours 36 minutes.

(ii) ¼th of a kilometre

1 km = 1000 m

1 year = 12 months

3/4 × 12 = 9 months.

Question 10:

In a class of 60 students, two-thirds are boys. How many girls are there in the class?

Number of students = 60

Number of boys = 60 × ⅔ = 40

Number of girls = 60 – 40 = 20.
