Throughout the next few weeks, our math class will be of a whole or a part of a group
learning about dividing whole numbers by unit fractions
and dividing unit fractions by whole numbers. We will
also learn how a fraction represents division.
You can expect to see homework with real-world
problems that involve division with fractions.
Here is a sample of how your child will be taught to use a
model to divide by a fraction.
