Multiplying Fractions with Mr. Walker

Mr. Walker introduces a math lesson on multiplying fractions, focusing on non-unit fractions using the area model. He demonstrates how to multiply fractions like one-third of six-sevenths, explaining the process and the concept of smaller products in fraction multiplication. The lesson includes a practical example using the area model and highlights a pattern in multiplication. Mr. Walker also introduces Geogebra, a tool for visualizing fraction multiplication, and encourages students to use it for better understanding. Additional practice materials are provided for further learning.
