Lesson Overview
We have completed Unit 1! You will see
percent questions, ratio questions, and unit
rate questions in some of the Do Nows to help
you remember and practice them! Dont
forget them!
We are going to go back to fractions and
division.
Today we will practice dividing fractions by
whole numbers by using a model!
What do fractions mean? 4 min
Draw a model of the fraction on your fraction card
Describe what your fraction means
What do fractions mean?
Fractions show the numerator being divided by the denominator
For example:
8
2
= 4 (8 2 = 4)

Fractions show a part (the numerator), being divided by the whole (denominator)
Remember that fractions are numbers too, and can be divided, added, subtracted and
multiplied!!
