  1. How do you solve a division problem involving fractions when the quotient has something left over (a remainder)? I wonder… _ = ?

  2. In this lesson you will learn to divide a fraction by a fraction, and represent any left over pieces (remainders), by thinking about equal groups.

  3. 2 _ = 4 1 whole 1 whole _ 2 = 2 3 1 4

  4. _ = 2 1 whole 1 whole 1 2

  5. A common mistake is to think that dividing a number always leads to an answer that is smaller than the number being divided. _ 2 = 2 _ = 4 Dividend < Divisor Dividend > Divisor Quotient < 1 Quotient > 1

  6. My answer should be less than 1. _ = ? This answer makes sense because it is less than 1. One set of …

  7. My answer should be more than 1. _ = ? ? ? This answer makes sense because it is more than 1. One set of …

  8. In this lesson you have learned how to divide a fraction by a fraction, and represent any left over pieces(remainders), by thinking about equal groups.

  9. _ = 1 whole 1 whole

  10. Draw rectangular models to represent these problems. Are the answers shown correct? Why or why not? • _ = • _ = 1

  11. Dividend > Divisor Dividend <Divisor Quotient < 1 Quotient > 1 • Analyze the following division problems. For each problem, estimate if the quotient will be less than 1 or greater than 1. _ = _ = _ =

  12. _ = _ =
