Episode Details

Sure, simple fraction division is figure-out-able, but what about gnarly fractions? In this episode Pam and Kim uncover simple relationships that make division of any fractions figure-out-able!
Talking points:

• What happens when the fractions aren't as nice, especially fractions where their denominators are not factors of each other?
• Thinking quotitively
• The connection between division and fractions
• Find common denominators to divide
• Use relative size of the fractions to estimate the quotient
• We don't teach rules for students to mimic, we develop relationships

See Episodes 142, 143 and 155 for more about fraction division.
