Procedure: Let us multiply and .
5 7
Š Divide the class into pairs.
Š Give them a sheet of square grid paper and instruct to draw a rectangle

of size of 5 × 7 on it. Here, the rectangle has 5 rows and 7 columns.
4
Š To represent on the rectangle, one student of each pair will colour
5
4 rows in red as shown in the picture

3
Š To represent on the same rectangle, the other student of the pair
7
will colour 3 columns in blue.
Š Now, the pair will count the number of double-shaded squares and
the total number of squares in the rectangle.

Here, the number of double-shaded squares is 12 and the total
number of squares in the rectangle is 35.
Š The fraction for the double-shaded squares over the total
number of squares will be the required product. Here, the 4
5
fraction for double-shaded squares = 12 .
35
Š Repeat this activity with more pairs of fractions if time permits. 3
