This lesson teaches multiplying fractions using visual models and the standard algorithm. There are also a couple of word problems that have adding and subtracting fractions. After solving a couple of problems using the standard algorithm, I show the students how to cross cancel or simplify before multiplying. Some students find it easier to cross cancel and some find it confusing. Therefore, I did not include cross canceling in the steps. This product includes notes, homework, and answer keys.

Typos happen. If you find a mistake, please contact me and I will upload a corrected copy.

Thank you for your business.
