About this app
Multiplying Fractions is an elementary math learning game that explains fraction multiplication through visual models and guided challenges. Explore repeated addition when multiplying a fraction by a whole number, count overlapping cells in an area model, and complete numerator-and-denominator multiplication exercises. The app also demonstrates why multiplying fractions smaller than one can make a result smaller and includes simplification challenges.
