Fraction operations are a really big part of 6th grade. Lots of my students
come into 6th grade with with experience multiplying and dividing fractions,
but they don’t necessarily understand why the algorithms work (“Why can’t I
just flip the second one?). I’m not saying they are all understanding 100%
when this activity is completed, but most of them have a better understanding
and the pictures help them to visualize what is going on when they multiply
and divide fractions. One thing I noticed with this assignment- students really
struggle with the idea of division and creating a word problem when it involves
fractions.
