Today's lesson has two parts- one is to work on reducing fractions down to simplest form (lowest terms). In the video, I show two different ways: cross-cancelling which only works for multiplication (but is really helpful when we multiply mixed numbers) and reducing after computation. This last strategy is what you parents will be more familiar with and it works for ALL operations, not just multiplying.
The other skill is multiplying whole numbers by fractions without using models. There is ONE page that is marked as MANDATORY. You will need to complete this, including reducing/simplifying. The remaining materials are for extra practice.
