This example demonstrates the process of fraction multiplication. Key mathematical concepts include fraction multiplication. Using GeoGebra commands such as Sequence, Element, Segment, Midpoint, Polygon, etc., a geometric model of fraction multiplication is constructed. Suitable for high-grade elementary or junior high school students to learn fraction multiplication.
