Lesson #8 - Review Lesson. The main menu presents the entire lesson as an option. There is no pretest or post test. This lesson offers quick access to skills needed for the multiplication of fractions that are not multiplication skills per se. They are: changing a mixed number to an improper fraction; changing an improper fraction to a mixed number; and dividing a fraction by a common factor to change the fraction to lower terms. Extensive tutorials on these skills are reshaped as prerequisites for multiplication. Contains the "redo" feature and scoring of regular lessons.
