Multiplying Fractions by Fractions

The video tutorial explains how to multiply fractions using both visual models and numerical methods. It begins with a model-based approach, demonstrating how to find the product of fractions by dividing and shading a rectangle. The tutorial then transitions to a numerical method, highlighting the simplicity of multiplying numerators and denominators directly. A real-world example involving a garden is used to illustrate the application of these methods. The lesson concludes with a recap of the key concepts.
