In fifth grade, students are required to be able to divide a unit fraction by a whole number and divide a whole number by a unit fraction. There is no requirement that students learn the procedural method, but rather that they are able to complete this task with a visual model such as a number line, array model, or a fraction model.

What patterns and relationships between the numbers do you notice? Can you develop a rule that works consistently to be able to complete these problems without a model? |
