Here’s the lead up to the area model fraction multiplication math pennant I shared the other day. There were a lot of “this is confusing” comments from only seeing the final pennant completed. Area model multiplication is cool and lets kids “see” why we multiply fractions the way we do. It’s just like finding the area of a rectangle, but instead of using the entire length and width, we use a fraction of the length and a fraction of the width. | Scaffolded Math and Science
