Multiplying Mixed Numbers Worksheet

Do your students love to tell or answer jokes and riddles? Why not make math a bit more fun and integrate riddle worksheets into your math class? Teach Starter has created a set of riddle worksheets that focus on multiplying mixed numbers to develop those important computation skills.

With this download, you will receive three different riddle worksheets where students must solve 12 multiplication problems. After students have discovered the answers to each question, they must then use the letter in each box to reveal the answer to a riddle at the bottom of the page.

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

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

For students looking for a bit of a challenge, encourage them to come up with their own jokes and see if they can create their own riddle worksheet!

If there are students who need a bit of additional support, remind students of how to convert mixed numbers into an improper fraction by referring to anchor charts or posters. Additionally, consider editing the problems to include only fractions and not mixed numbers.
