Practice How to Multiply Mixed Numbers with a Bingo Game!

Learning how to multiply mixed numbers involves a great amount of practice and precision. Students use their important multiplication facts to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions to be able to determine products. If you are looking for a whole-class activity for your students to practice this fractional computation skill, look no further!

To play, distribute one card to each student and a set of counters to cover the game board spaces. Display one of the calling cards to the students and encourage them to find the product. Once students find the correct answer on their bingo card, they must cover it with a counting chip or marker. The first student to get a bingo configuration on their card wins!

Through this activity, students will show they can multiply mixed numbers and fractions and represent the answer in simplest form.
