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.
Key Concepts:
- I can use my understanding of unit fractions (fractions with a numerator of one) to determine how many unit fractions make up a whole.
- I can use the amount of groups or shares to determine how much or how many are in each group or share.
- I can interpret and compute a quotient when dividing a unit fraction by a whole number.
- I can interpret and compute a quotient when dividing a whole number by a unit fraction.
- I can solve real-world problems involving division of a unit fraction by a whole number.
- I can solve real-world problems involving division of a whole number by a unit fraction.
