Multiplying Fractions Unit for Special Education PRINT and DIGITAL

Multiplying Fractions unit contains 104 pages and 46 google slides designed for students with autism and special learning needs. This unit looks at multiplying proper and improper fractions as well as equations that have whole and mixed numbers.

Students will also practice drawing out the equations to gain a better understanding of what actually happens when you multiply two fractions. There are cards and grids and directions for a daily group activity to practice this skill.

There are 3 power cards for students to use while working through the unit. One outlines the steps of multiplying fractions. One card shows how to simplify an improper fraction. One card shows the steps of changing a mixed number to an improper fraction. There is also an example on each card for students to refer to.

There are 6 worksheet sets to help students work through the steps. There is some color-coding provided to support students.

• Drawing equations
• Multiplying proper fractions (no simplification)
• Multiplying proper fractions (with simplification)
• Multiplying improper fractions (with simplification)
• Multiplying whole numbers and fractions (with simplification)
• Multiplying mixed numbers and fractions (with simplification)

Finally, there is a quiz to assess understanding at the end of the unit.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated into these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, if we can ask students good questions it will push them to think more deeply than before.
