Divide fractions just like a model does. Pupils visualize the division of a fraction by a whole number by creating models. Scholars make the connection between dividing by a whole number and multiplication before practicing the skill...

Connect division with multiplication through the use of models. Groups solve problems involving the division of a whole number by a fraction using models. The groups share their methods along with the corresponding division and...

Use this division worksheet to have your learners convert numbers into fractions. They follow a "recipe" which gives instructions on dividing with fractions. Upon completion of the division process, pupils discover the answer to a...

Dividing with fractions is not a favorite task, so provide your learners with a visual understanding. The activity breaks a simple division problem into something they can comprehend. Use this method for future problems with...

Do the keep, change, flip dance. The resource shows that the division of algebraic fractions follows the same rules as dividing numerical fractions. Pupils understand that if they can multiply rational expressions, they can divide...

Put your mathematicians to the test and see if they can complete this challenging fraction review worksheet. The problems include mixed numbers, one-step equations, and all the operations, some with multiple steps necessary. This...

Use a unit approach in developing a fraction division strategy. The teacher leads a discussion on division containing units, resulting in a connection between the units and like denominators. Pupils develop a rule in dividing fractions...

Dividing with fractions can be a confusing task to some, but the activity illustrates how to make groups out of the problem and look at it visually. Use this problem with the lesson in the Additional Materials section to practice this...

Use this division of simple fractions with unlike denominators worksheet to have your learners problem solve twenty-five division equations while showing each step of their work.

Here is a division of simple fractions with alike denominators worksheet in which learners problem solve twenty-five division equations.

Here is a division of mixed fractions with like denominators worksheet in which learners problem solve twenty five division equations while showing each step of their work.

Give learners a chance to shine. The last installment of a 21-part series is an end-of-module assessment. Scholars show their understanding of operations with decimals and division of fractions by solving problems in the context of a...

There are two parts to this fractions drill. Each of the first 32 fractions can be written in simpler terms, and scholars get some guidance as they are given either the denominator or numerator of the equivalent fraction. Review this by...

Here is another way to illustrate division of a whole number by a unit fraction. In this case, the problem is asking if there are so many servings per cup, how many servings are in a package of multiple cups. Learners are to model their...

Learners compare three sets of fractions using the greater than, less than, and equal signs. To justify their answers, a drawing is also required that illustrates their reasoning. Including fractions with like and unlike denominators, as...

The object is to model fraction division by asking “How many are in one group?” It is a difficult concept to understand, but developing the model that shows one cup to a certain amount of container or one container to a certain amount of...

Learners are introduced to dividing by fractions in a visual way. Setting up groups from the information in the problem allows them to see what we divide and why. Use with the previous lesson, which can be found in Additional Materials,...

Knowing the standard algorithm opens up a whole new world of division. Scholars learn how to convert division involving decimals to division involving whole numbers to use the standard algorithm. Knowing how to multiply with powers of...

Divide up the interpretation of a fraction. The third installment of a 16-part series introduces a new interpretation of fractions, that of a division problem. The resource shows three different ways to write division problems and asks...

Remodeling projects require more than just a good design — they involve complex fractions, too. To determine whether a tiling project will fit within a given budget pupils calculate the square footage to determine the number of...

Young mathematicians piece together the puzzle of fractions. Starting with the addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators, this series of example problems and skills practice exercises transitions students...

Visual models are excellent teaching tools when explaining equivalent fractions. Looking at a rectangle cut into twelfths, students first identify the shaded fraction, and then explain whether the fraction is equal to one-fourth....

Here is a fraction and decimal worksheet in which learners solve eight problems that require them to multiply and divide using fractions and decimals.

Can Dan make a conjecture about dividing fractions with the same denominators? That is what your scholars are to determine. They must show that if the statement is true, they understand how the quantities were determined, and how...
