Activity Instructions

Use the mat to explain how to divide fractions by fractions.

  • Have students gather around the mat. Start by asking: “What is 1/2 ÷ 1/4?” Explain: “This means: How many 1/4s fit into 1/2?
  • Have students find and stand around the 1/4 column on the mat.
  • Then look over to the 1/2 column together and visually see how many 1/4 spaces fit into 1/2 — pointing out that two 1/4s fit into 1/2. So, 1/2 ÷ 1/4 = 2.
  • After they see the visual, use a whiteboard to show mathematically how 1/2 ÷ 1/4 is the same as 1/2 x 4/1 or 1/2 of 4.
  • Repeat the process with different fractions by finding them on the mat first and then solving them mathematically.
