Students are given a set of multiplication problems involving a whole number and a fraction, and they must solve each one to find the correct answer. Beneath the problems is a series of squares, each labeled with a different product, which correspond to the answers of the multiplication problems. The task is to solve the equations, then cut out and paste the square with the correct answer onto another sheet to gradually reveal a hidden picture.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to multiply fractions with whole numbers while providing a fun, engaging activity that results in a visual reward for their calculations. By solving the problems and matching them to the squares, students practice their arithmetic skills and also learn to verify their answers by checking if the picture makes sense, providing immediate feedback on their work. This activity can help improve motivation and focus by turning the learning process into a game. Additionally, it can aid in reinforcing the concept of fractions, multiplication, and the skill of problem-solving with an artistic and enjoyable outcome.
