Multiplying Fractions Color by Number Activity

About this resource

What's inside this resource

If you teach math and are looking for engaging resources for your students, I have just the resources for you!

What You Get:

This is a Multiplying Fractions Color by Number Activity. It is a 1-page printable that includes a page of problems to solve and a coloring page. An answer key is not included.

How To Implement This Color by Number Activity:

You should print off enough copies of the worksheet for each student to have. On the first page, students will multiply the fractions for each problem set on the page. They will go to the bottom of the page and colour the corresponding question number with the correct colour from the table. Have students double check their answers before they begin coloring.

This Color by Number Activity is a great way to review these math skills. This can be completed independently. You can also have students work together to solve the problems. This is a great activity for homework or early finishers.

I hope you enjoy!

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Students multiply two proper fractions and simplify the product.
Students match a simplified fraction product to its location in a number grid.
Students complete a color-by-number picture by coloring each matched cell with its assigned color.

Teaching tips

Have students show their multiplication work in the margin or on scratch paper, since the problem line itself leaves no work space.
Remind students to simplify each product before searching the grid, since the coloring key is built on the reduced fraction, not the raw product.
Set out colored pencils or markers in the fifteen listed colors ahead of time so students are not searching for an exact match mid-activity.

Skills covered

Fraction multiplication — students solve 15 problems multiplying two proper fractions.
Simplifying fractions — students reduce each product to lowest terms to match it correctly in the grid.
Self-checking through pattern — an incorrect product will not match any color in the grid, giving students an indirect way to catch arithmetic errors.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Do students need to simplify their answers before matching them to a color?

Yes — the instructions direct students to multiply and simplify each product, and the numbers in the coloring grid are the reduced, simplest-form results.
