I've been spending some time lately thinking about how to help elementary school teachers teach math conceptually even if they don't consider themselves strong in math. I keep coming back to interactive applets (read: GeoGebra) because it's kind of a one-stop shop. Yesterday, I tried a few out with a 4th grade class and they responded very favorably. So, here are the latest two I've done on fraction multiplication.
Click on "File" and "Save" if you'd like a copy of either applet.
Please forgive the crowding, I had to minimize everything in order to fit them into the post.

These are excellent. Thanks for sharing!
I showed these to my 5th grade daughter - she immediately liked the 2nd applet because she could connect it with the "area of rectangles" problems that she has done.
