Vocabulary division fraction unit fraction whole number PRIOR KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Understands division as fitting into Understands /n as one of n equal parts of a whole Can use number lines to represent whole numbers Understands fractions of lengths, areas, capacities, and number lines MATERIALS pre-cut pieces from BLM Fraction Parts and Wholes (pp. J- J-) die per pair of students / cup measure cup measure enough counters to fill a cup Review division as fitting into. Remind students that division can be looked at as fitting into. For example, to divide 6, you can ask how many objects of length fit across an object of length 6: SAY: Three s fit into 6, so 6 =. Dividing by a unit fraction. Give students the prepared cutouts from BLM Fraction Parts and Wholes ( whole, halves, thirds, fourths, and fifths for each student). ASK: How many /s fit into? () Students should show their answer by lining up pieces. Write on the board: = COPYRIGHT 0 JUMP MATH: NOT TO BE COPIED. CC EDITION ASK: How many /s should fit into?

Six people are sharing three oranges. Each orange is cut into eighths. How many pieces does each person get? Answer:. Discuss why it is easier to look at division as sharing equally when dividing by whole numbers, but as fitting into when dividing by fractions. Answer: It is hard to see how many pieces of size fit into / so / would be hard to find by thinking of division as fitting into. Also, / would be hard to think of as sharing equally between / of a person. COPYRIGHT 0 JUMP MATH: NOT TO BE COPIED. CC EDITION J- Teacher s Guide for AP Book 6.
