What’s the Message

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is an educational resource for practicing multiplication of fractions. It consists of eight fraction multiplication problems, each of which is linked to a codebreaker activity at the bottom of the page. For every problem solved, the answer corresponds to a letter in a secret code; students find the correct letter based on the solution to the math problem and write it in the blank space above to eventually reveal a secret word.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to multiply fractions, a key mathematical skill. Through solving the problems, students learn to calculate the product of two fractions, which involves multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together. The codebreaker aspect of the worksheet adds an element of fun and motivation, as students are rewarded for their correct answers by being able to decode a hidden message. This type of activity not only reinforces mathematical computation but also encourages problem-solving and critical thinking.
