9 9 An Italian sausage is 8 inches long. How many pieces of sausage can be cut from the 8- inch piece of sausage if each piece is to be Summary & Key to Move On… Name 1)Explain whether the quotient to the problem below is greater than or less than 1. Use the words “Dividend” and “Divisor” in your explanation. 3) A hotdog is 7 ½ inches long. How many pieces can be cut from the hotdog if each piece is to be two-thirds of an inch? 2) How many halves, (1/2), are there in an eighth, (1/8)? Problems 2 & 3 involve division to solve: Place a box around the dividend and circle the divisor. Write a numerical expression or equation. Then write whether the quotients will be greater than or less than 1.

11 Warm Up How many halves, (1/2), are there in an eighth, (1/ 11 1)How many thirds, (1/3), are there in a fifth, (1/5)? A) Equation_________________ B) Quotient greater than or less than 1? ____________ 2) A metal pole is 10 ½ feet long. How many pieces can be cut from the pole if each piece is to be seven eighths (7/8) of a foot? A) Equation_________________ B) Quotient greater than or less than 1? ____________ Less than 1 Greater than 1

12 Launch 1 – Constructing Fractional Models 12 Although other shapes, like circles, can be used in modeling, we are going to use horizontal rectangular visual models for our fractions. Denominator represents how many “spaces” you need in your rectangle, in this case 4 spaces make 1 whole rectangle Numerator represents how many of the spaces are “filled.” It takes 4 – fourths to make a whole. In this case you have 3 – fourths.

13 Explore 1 – Make some models 13 1) Why are all the rectangles the same initial size? 2) Why might drawing the models be helpful? 3) What might make it difficult to draw a model?

14 Launch 2A – Using models to divide holds/contains exactly 6 … eighths Notice how cutting ¾ into eighths made this easier. Why is the quotient greater than 1?

15 Launch 2B – Using models to divide holds/contains exactly of Won’t Fit Why is the quotient less than 1? Notice how cutting ½ into sixths made this easier.

16 Explore 2 - Draw it, Solve it, Share it Will the quotient be greater than or less than 1? Greater holds/contains exactly 4 … sixths Notice how cutting 2/3 into sixths made this easier.

17 Explore 3 - Draw it, Solve it, Share it A movie theater can only hold one fourth (1/4) of the school’s students. Three eighths (3/8) of the school went to the movies hoping to get tickets. What fraction of the students that went to the movies got tickets? Use visual models to solve. Movie Theater Students Fit School’s Students Want Tickets Whole that want tickets Part students that fit *Hint Box*

18 Assessment 18 Name:__________ Key to Leave 1 of the following problems involves division of fractions. Circle and solve that problem only. Use visual fraction models. A)Erika has (7/8) of a cake and Rob has (1/4). How much more cake does Erika have? B)Joe wants to make pieces of string that are (1/4) inch and has a string that is (7/8) inches long. How many pieces can he make? C)Stevie has (1/4) of the money and Renee wants (7/8) of his money. How much of the total money does Renee have?

21 Part 3: Thinking more about the Division of Fractions

22 Warm Up How many halves, (1/2), are there in an eighth, (1/ 22 We know that 5 wholes cannot “fit into” (8/9) so our answer is less than 1. Attempt to solve for the quotient using the visual fraction models given. If you encounter trouble, record/explain what is giving you difficulty.

23 Learning Objective for Today… Students Will Be Able To… divide fractions using the common denominator method.

24 Launch 1A – Warm Up Revisited 24 Remember all whole numbers can be placed over a denominator of 1. Why? Common Denominators 9 x 1 = 8 x 1 = = 9 x 1 = 9 x A common denominator/multiple is a number that both of our denominators can “fit into.” It is helpful to find the least/lowest, but any common multiple can be used. In this problem, 9 and 1 “fit into” 9…which is the least common denominator. 18 is also a common multiple but not the least. Recall… Why is (45/9) an equivalent fraction to (5/1)? Step 1: Rewrite problem with the LCD

25 Launch 1B – Get to the Division!! 25 Step 2: Divide from Left to Right * Since any number (including a fraction) divided by 1 is itself…our quotient is… And with practice you can move quickly… …the denominators “cancel” out (become 1)

27 Explore 2 – Tying all Division Skills Together 27 Rosie is running a track race with five teammates. The course is 4 and (1/8) miles long. If all 6 team members want to run equal distances, how many miles will each be running? 1 Can you recognize the operation needed? (Add, Sub, Mult, or Div) 2 Recognition Translation Can you translate this into a numerical equation? 3 4 Rationality Can you hypothesize what a rational solution might look like before actually solving? (will it be greater or less than 1) 5 Determine Can you determine a method of solving the equation? Execution Can you execute the accurate solution using skills learned? If you can, prove it ! Division Less than 1 Common Den. more efficient than visual models Take that!

28 Rohan is building a table and needs to purchase lumber. He has 8 and 2/3 feet of hard oak wood but determines that he needs 12 and 1/4 feet so he needs to buy the rest. Rohan will use 2/5 of the total 12 and 1/4 feet to make the legs of the table. This will be a tripod table so there will only be 3 legs. a)How many feet of wood does Rohan purchase? b)How many feet of wood is used to make the legs? (all together) a)How long is each individual table leg? b)How many feet of wood are used on the rest of the table? (if legs not included) 28 Explore 3 – Fraction nitty gritty Working with your partner, solve the above problems…

(if legs not included) Review your work from Explore 3 and compare your work to the solutions provided. At any point where your work is different or at any point that you don’t understand the solution process, explain either your confusion or what you did incorrectly. If your work matches exactly, write “I had that excatly.” (Be honest to help me understand where we stand). I should see much writing in the spaces on this page. Assessment 29
