Being able to provide visual models of dividing fractions is part of the CCLS. These minilessons, diagrams, and practice problems will help your students master this difficult concept!

Use these mini-lessons and diagrams to teach your students how to solve division of fractions problems using models. The step-by-step directions will help your students to create visual models to solve dividing fractions by fractions, whole numbers by fractions, and unit fractions by whole numbers. Students will also practice writing real-world story contexts for their fraction division problems. There are directions and practice problems for each method, and an answer key provided. This packet of printables can be used:

* as mini-lessons when you're teaching division of fractions
* in centers, after teaching
* as an assessment

I have used these successfully with my sixth graders, and they can also be used with fifth grade students for their division with unit fractions work, and as review with seventh graders. An additional visual fraction model product can be found here Multiplying Fractions: Visual Models to Understand Multiplication of Fractions.

These lessons and activities will be of great help to you in your classroom! AlwaysLearning
