LESSON PLAN

OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:

 Identify the basic terms of division of fraction such as numerator, denominator, and reciprocal.
 All students should be able to divide one ordinary fraction by another using its reciprocal.
 Most students should be able to divide a fraction by a mixed number using its reciprocal.

Dividing Fractions

Turn the second fraction upside down, then multiply.

There are 3 Simple Steps to Divide Fractions:

Step 1. Turn the second fraction (the one you want to divide by) upside down

(this is now a reciprocal).

Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal

Step 3. Simplify the fraction (if needed)

Example:

Example:

1/2 ÷ 1/6

Step 1. Turn the second fraction upside down (it becomes a reciprocal):

1/6 becomes 6/1

Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal:

(multiply tops ...)

1/2 × 6/1 = 1 × 6/2 × 1 = 6/2

(... multiply bottoms)

Step 3. Simplify the fraction:

6/2 = 3

How Many?
20 divided by 5 is asking "how many 5s in 20?" (=4) and so:

Why Turn the Fraction Upside Down?

Because dividing is the opposite of multiplying!

A fraction says to:

multiply by the top number
divide by the bottom number

But for DIVISION we:

divide by the top number
multiply by the bottom number
Example: dividing by 5/2 is the same as multiplying by 2/5.
So instead of dividing by a fraction, it is easier to turn that fraction upside down, then do a multiply.
c. APPLICATION
The teacher will divide the class into two groups. Each group will be given a word problem.
The group will answer the word problem using fraction blocks.

Generalization
Relate division of fraction in real life situation.
