About these worksheets
Students build fluency with fraction multiplication and division through a wide range of activities. Worksheets cover multiplying fractions by whole numbers and by other fractions, using visual models and number lines, estimating fraction products, cross-cancelling, dividing unit fractions, interpreting fractions as division, distributing fractional amounts, and solving word problems. Topics span fourth through sixth grade Common Core standards.
Dividing Unit Fractions (Visual)
- Divide a unit fraction by a whole number to find how much each group gets.
- Use a picture model to show how a fraction is split into equal parts.
- Connect the visual model to the rule that dividing by a whole number makes the denominator larger.
Dividing Unit Fractions
- Divide a unit fraction by a whole number to find an equal share.
- Use the idea that dividing by a whole number makes the fraction smaller.
- Rewrite division of fractions as multiplication by the reciprocal to solve.
Dividing By Unit Fractions (Visual)
- Understand what it means to divide by a unit fraction using a picture or model.
- Use visual models to see how many 1/b-sized parts fit into a given fraction or whole amount.
- Connect the visual model to the idea that dividing by a unit fraction makes the answer larger.
Dividing By Unit Fractions
- Divide a whole number by a unit fraction like 1/2 or 1/5.
- Use the idea that dividing by a unit fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.
- Find quotients that are whole numbers and understand why the answer gets larger when you divide by a fraction less than 1.
Dividing By Unit Fractions
- Divide a whole number by a unit fraction like 1/2 or 1/5.
- Use the idea that dividing by a unit fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.
Division as Fraction - Word
- Use the numbers in a word problem to decide what goes in the numerator and denominator.
- Identify which two whole numbers a fraction lies between.
Numberline Unit Fraction by Whole
- Divide a unit fraction (like 1/3 or 1/8) by a whole number.
- Use a number line to show how a unit fraction is split into equal parts.
- Write the answer as a fraction and connect it to the number line model.
Numberline Whole By Fraction
- Divide a whole number by a fraction to find how many fractional parts fit in the whole number.
- Use a number line to model division by making equal jumps of a fraction and counting the jumps.
Numberline Whole By Unit Fraction
- Divide a whole number by a unit fraction like 1/2 or 1/4.
- Use a number line to show equal jumps of a unit fraction and count how many jumps fit in the whole number.
- Explain the quotient as “how many 1/n parts are in this many wholes.”
