This document is a lesson plan on dividing fractions by fractions. It includes student learning outcomes of using visual models like fraction bars and area models to divide fractions with common denominators. It connects division of fractions to multiplication of fractions. The lesson contains examples of dividing fractions using models, along with exercises for students to practice. It emphasizes that the division of fractions asks how many times the divisor goes into the dividend.

Student Outcomes
§ Students use visual models such as fraction bars and area models to show the division of fractions by fractions with
common denominators.
§ Students make connections to the multiplication of fractions. In addition, students understand that the division of
fractions require students to ask, “How many groups of the divisor are in the dividend?” to get the quotient.

How could we reword this question?
If we divide 12 into three groups of equal size, what is the size of each group?
If we divide 12 into groups of size 3, how many groups would we have?
If I have 12 chickens and I put 3 chickens in each cage, how many cages will I need?
If I have 12 flowers and I place 3 flowers in each vase, how many vases will I need?

How are Example 2 and Exercise 1 similar?
Example 2: Exercise 1:
=3 =3
What conclusions can you draw from these observations?
When the dividend and divisor are scaled up or scaled down by the same
amounts, the quotient stays the same.
