Description

Sure, simple fraction division is figure-out-able, but what about gnarly fractions? In this episode Pam and Kim uncover simple relationships that make division of any fractions figure-out-able!
Talking points:

  • What happens when the fractions aren't as nice, especially fractions where their denominators are not factors of each other?
  • Thinking quotitively
  • The connection between division and fractions
  • Find common denominators to divide
  • Use relative size of the fractions to estimate the quotient
  • We don't teach rules for students to mimic, we develop relationships

See Episodes 142, 143 and 155 for more about fraction division.
