Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Divide a whole number by a fraction, and a fraction by a whole number.
Divide a fraction by another fraction using the reciprocal method.
Solve real-world word problems that require dividing fractions, such as splitting ingredients or cutting materials into equal pieces.
Teaching tips
Project the notes and complete them alongside students, as the file's own 'How to Use' page recommends.
Print the pages as booklets or two-to-a-page for interactive notebooks, or as whole pages, depending on classroom format.
Use the teacher-copy section (pages 21–36 in the 36-page PDF or 20–35 in the 35-page PDF) as the projected teacher copy while students fill in the blank version.
Skills covered
Reciprocal method — students find a fraction's reciprocal and use it to convert a division problem into multiplication.
Visual fraction modeling — students draw or interpret a model to write a matching division and multiplication equation for a word problem.
Mixed-number division — students convert mixed numbers to fractions before dividing.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How are the practice problems structured?
Each lesson pairs a modeled example (with a visual fraction model and equation) with fill-in-the-blank practice problems, including word problems like cutting biscuit dough or splitting fruit for smoothies.
Are teacher copies included?
Yes. Both PDFs include a teacher-copy section. Choose one version rather than printing both: the 36-page version adds a teacher note to the substantially overlapping 35-page packet.

- 6. NS.A.1 — Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, create a story context for (2/3) ÷ (3/4) and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient; use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that (2/3) ÷ (3/4) = 8/9 because 3/4 of 8/9 is 2/3. (In general, (a/b) ÷ (c/d) = ad/bc.) How much chocolate will each person get if 3 people share 1/2 lb of chocolate equally? How many 3/4-cup servings are in 2/3 of a cup of yogurt? How wide is a rectangular strip of land with length 3/4 mi and area 1/2 square mi?
