The sixth grade Math students have been working on fractions again. We have mastered multiplying fractions by fractions, whole numbers, and mixed numbers. This week we have moved into dividing fractions.
The lessons are as follows:
7.1 Fractions and Whole numbers
7.2 Multiplying Fractions
7.3 Multiplying Mixed Numbers
7.4 Dividing Fractions
7.5 Dividing Mixed Numbers
Taught within the lessons is estimating fractions and mixed numbers. So far the students have done very nicely. One hint, change all mixed numbers into improper fractions before multiplying. Another hint, to divide- keep first fraction the same, change divide to multiply, and flip the second fraction. Last hint, always have the answer in simplest form.
