Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students:
  • Solve problems involving division of whole numbers leading to quotients of a fraction or mixed number.

    • Example: Given that 3 cookies are shared equally with 6 people, find what fraction of the cookies each person receives. Each person receives 3/6 of a cookie or 1/2 of a cookie.
    Example: Given that 3 cookies are shared equally with 2 people, find what fraction of the cookies each person receives. Each person receives 3/2 cookies or 1 1/2 cookies.
