Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to explore the exciting world of fractions and learn how to multiply them. But first, let’s remember what a fraction is. A fraction has two parts: the top number, called the numerator, and the bottom number, called the denominator. Ready to dive in?
Multiplying fractions is super easy! Here’s how you do it: to find the new numerator, you multiply the numerators of the fractions. To find the new denominator, you multiply the denominators. So, you just multiply the top numbers together and the bottom numbers together. Simple, right?
Let’s try an example. We want to multiply one-half by three-fifths. First, we multiply the numerators: 1 times 3 equals 3. Next, we multiply the denominators: 2 times 5 equals 10. So, one-half multiplied by three-fifths equals three-tenths. Great job!
Let’s do another one. Can you solve this? Multiply two-thirds by one-fifth. Multiply the numerators: 2 times 1 equals 2. Then, multiply the denominators: 3 times 5 equals 15. So, two-thirds multiplied by one-fifth equals two-fifteenths. Did you get it right? Awesome!
Now you know how to multiply fractions! You’re becoming a fraction expert. Keep practicing, and you’ll get even better. Remember, math is like a fun puzzle, and every time you solve a problem, you’re getting smarter!
Thanks for learning with us today. Keep exploring and discovering new things. See you next time!
Fraction Art: Create a colorful fraction art project! Use colored paper or draw on plain paper to make fraction strips. For example, cut a strip of paper into halves, another into thirds, and another into fifths. Use these strips to visualize and multiply fractions. Try multiplying one-half by three-fifths using your strips and see how the pieces fit together to form a new fraction!
Fraction Cooking: With the help of an adult, try a simple recipe that involves fractions. For example, make a fruit salad using half a cup of apples and three-fifths of a cup of grapes. Measure the ingredients using measuring cups and see how multiplying fractions helps in real-life cooking. Discuss how you can adjust the recipe if you want to make more or less.
Fraction Hunt: Go on a fraction hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that can be divided into fractions, like a pizza, a chocolate bar, or a set of building blocks. Try to multiply fractions using these objects. For instance, if you have a chocolate bar divided into thirds, see what happens when you multiply one-third by another fraction. Share your findings with your classmates!

Hello again, friends!
We continue practicing operations with fractions. Today, we’re going to learn how to multiply fractions. First, let’s recap the parts of a fraction: the top number is the numerator, and the bottom number is the denominator. Now we’re ready to start!
Do you know how to multiply fractions? It’s really easy! Pay close attention. To find the numerator, we multiply the numerators, and to find the denominator, we multiply the denominators. This means that to multiply fractions, we multiply the two numerators together and the two denominators together. Easy, right?
Let’s look at an example. We need to multiply one-half by three-fifths. To do that, we’re going to multiply the numerators: one by three, which equals three. Then we’re going to multiply the denominators: two by five, which equals ten. So, one-half multiplied by three-fifths equals three-tenths. Well done!
Did you understand that? Shall we look at another example? Let’s see if you can solve this operation: two-thirds multiplied by one-fifth equals two-fifteenths. Two by one equals two, and three by five equals fifteen. Did you get that right? Amazing! Congratulations!
Now you know how to multiply fractions. You’re a real expert! See you in the next video!
