Differentiated Activities for Multiplying Mixed Fractions Number Cubes - Give each group 2 number cubes labeled 1-6 and 4-9. Have one roll the number cube three times and record the 6 numbers. Then have the other partner also roll three times and record the six numbers. - The goal is to write a multiplication problem with two mixed numbers that will result in the greatest possible product. Have each partner use 2 of their numbers as whole numbers, 2 as numerators, and 2 as denominators to write two mixed numbers. - Have them compare products. Index Cards - Split students into two groups and have someone in each group write a mixed number between 1 and 3 on index card. - Have the group rewrite the mixed number as improper fraction on board. Write a multiplication sign between two fractions. Explain that once mixed numbers have been written as fractions. - Guide students to multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators and simplify if needed. Red and Blue Crayons - Write ½ x 2 ½ on board. - Have one student draw 3 squares and use vertical lines to divide each square into 2 equal parts. Ask another student to use a red color pencil to shade the squares to show 2 ½. - Have a third student divide each square horizontally into 2 equal parts and use a blue color pencil to lightly shade the top half of the first two squares and the top half of the shaded part of the third square. Have them count the parts that are double shaded.
