Provide a meaningful context for learning about the division of fractions with this upper-elementary math lesson plan. Presented with a simple, real-world problem, young mathematicians work in small groups to develop visual...

Introduce young mathematicians to the process of dividing fractions with a hands-on math lesson. Using the help of fraction strips and other visual models, children work through a series of example problems as they...

Reciprocals are the method used for dividing fractions in this instructional session. A fraction is defined as being a division problem, and then the whole group works together to solve several problems. They check for the reasonableness...

Groups of learners create an animation illustrating fractions using common objects. They choose everyday objects that they can divide into fractions. They take pictures of the objects dividing into fractions and create an animation with...

Never forget how to add, subtract, multiply, or divide fractions with a two-page document detailing each operation. 

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.

An outstanding presentation on fractions and their equivalents awaits your mathematicians. They view many excellent examples of models of fractions that look different numerically, but are actually the same in value. Terrific practice...

Investigate division through the use of array models. The lesson focuses on using area models to compare division as sharing with division as grouping. Students evaluate the usefulness and limitations of the two array models.

Learners demonstrate array models to illustrate division as sharing and grouping. They demonstrate the array models to compare division as sharing with division as grouping. Pupils explore division problems are typically seen as either...

Use paper strips or models to relate division problems to division of fraction problems. Since the materials can be broken up, it helps them to show how they can complete repeated subtraction with fractions and not just whole numbers.

Do your students have what it takes to be the king of math? Find out with this fun skills practice game that covers a wide range of topics from counting and basic operations to measurement and fractions.

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...

Submarine sandwiches not only taste good, they also make for great math models. Follow along as Zoe explains how to calculate equivalent fractions, while cutting up a sandwich for herself and her friend. She demonstrates the process...

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...

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 learners...

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...

If you're working on a fraction unit, this resource could be a great way to assess student learning or to extend your lesson on equivalent fractions. Once they have filled in the missing number in each pair of fractions, youngsters work...
