This document outlines a lesson plan for teaching students how to divide fractions. It includes examples of dividing fractions using visual models like number lines and tape diagrams. The lesson covers dividing fractions with different denominators and discusses whether the quotient can be a whole number or larger than the original fraction. Students will complete practice problems, group work, and an exit ticket assessment to check their understanding of dividing fractions.
