    This lesson explains how to remove or clear fractions by multiplying a fraction by a whole number so the fraction disappears. This is a very important and useful lesson, especially for students who have trouble with fractions. Also, this is a fun way of dealing with fractions that students can enjoy and embrace. A really unique and interesting way of adding fractions is also explained. This is a must-watch for anyone having trouble with fractions.

    I needed a refresher course in math and came to Mathvids. This lesson showed me a way of multiplying fractions that was fun. I always had trouble with fractions, and this video made fractions so much easier to work with.

    8th Graders think you should make it more exciting. They suggest Kung Foo outfits.
