These task cards were great! My students loved working through them. Thank you for your hard work and sharing it!
My students enjoyed doing the visual models for dividing fractions - this helped them understand the keep change flip aspect first, then they could master the rule!

Description

Students divide fractions using models in this activity that reinforces visual understanding of this tricky topic.

Each card has blank models on it that represent the fractions and their common denominators. Students then practice figuring out how many, or what portion, of the divisors fill the dividend by coloring in the models. They can then record their final answers on the included answer sheet.

Includes 20 task cards, answer sheet and key. Cards can be laminated and used with dry erase markers so that the cards can be reused.

Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, create a story context for (2/3) ÷ (3/4) and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient; use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that (2/3) ÷ (3/4) = 8/9 because 3/4 of 8/9 is 2/3.
