Culminating task for Division

How can our knowledge of division help us to solve a problem involving fractions?

Student-created Multiplication/Division Problem

Here's a rich, multi-step task that was created by three students in my class who took the initiative to challenge their peers. Excellent leadership girls! Way to go!

The task was challenging for some students but in the end a lot of them figured it out. Good job!

Division #4 - Cat Food Problem

Big Idea

The unit price (price of one can) is the result of division which is the heart of proportional reasoning in rate problems.

Division #3

Started off today by revisiting a question that was given last Thursday. I wanted the students to be mindful of patterns and to come up with pattern rules. They did an excellent job.

Kiddies came up with multiple answers and even noticed some interesting patterns! Bravo!
