Dividing Fractions

My 6th graders have been working with dividing fractions for the last two weeks. We explore these four ways, in this order:

  1. Number line

  2. Rectangles — I wrote about this here.

  3. Dividing by one

  4. Common denominator

It's completely intentional that we work with the number line and rectangles first. I want my kids to see the answer and that it should match their intuition and understanding.
