Multiplying Mixed Numbers Worksheet

Are your students in need of additional practice with mixed numbers? To properly multiply mixed numbers, students must understand how to convert to an improper fraction, multiply fractions, and then simplify or change the value back into a mixed number. each Starter has created a worksheet you can use with your students today to help them multiply mixed numbers and compare them.

With this math worksheet, students will answer 15 questions where they must solve 2 expressions where they must multiply mixed numbers. After multiplying, students will then compare the two answers by placing a greater than, less than, or equal sign to complete the comparative statement.

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!  

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

In addition to independent student work time, use this worksheet as an activity for:
