In This Unit of Study…

Students make the connection between fractions and division by understanding that fractions can also represent division of a numerator by a denominator. Students will have many opportunities to explore the relationship between the numerator and denominator within real-world contexts. Students work with fractions greater than one; however, it is not the expectation for students to simplify fractions to lowest terms.

B.E.S.T. Benchmarks:

  • MA.5.FR.2.4 Extend previous understanding of division to explore the division of a unit fraction by a whole number and a whole number by a unit fraction.
  • MA.5.AR.1.3 Solve real-world problems involving division of a unit fraction by a whole number and a whole number by a unit fraction.

Overarching Key Concepts:

  • Explore division of whole numbers and unit fractions
