Students extend their previous understanding of multiplication and division to divide fractions by fractions. They construct division stories and solve word problems involving division of fractions. Through the context of word problems, students understand and use partitive division of fractions to determine how much is in each group.
Students use measurement to determine quotients of fractions. They are presented conceptual problems where they determine that the quotient represents how many of the divisor is in the dividend.
Students look for and uncover patterns while modeling quotients of fractions to ultimately discover the relationship between multiplication and division. Using this relationship, students create equations and formulas to represent and solve problems.
