• With the editable version, you can tweak anything you need to:-)

This fraction division unit for 6th grade math includes a PDF version and an editable PowerPoint version (Microsoft Office 365) of each of the following:

1) 30-page student packet of fold-it-ups, guided notes and practice pages.

2) Teacher key/version of the student packet:

• Completed notes
• Answer keys for the practice pages
• Details for fold it ups.

3) 22 Exit tickets

4) 31-question unit assessment

5) Word wall file (PDF only) with 12 vocabulary terms for your word wall

This fraction division unit includes 5 detailed, multi-day lessons, addressing:

• LCM
• GCF
• Dividing fractions by whole numbers
• Dividing whole numbers by fractions
• Dividing fractions/mixed numbers by fractions/mixed numbers

Each division topic begins with showing the division with models and then moves to the computation. The computation is taught with two different methods, giving students the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the concept of fraction division.

The methods are:

• multiplying by the reciprocal and
• using common denominators

Each lesson follows the same structure:

1) Topic page with:

• I Can statement
• Guided notes and examples (some lessons have a fold-it-up or graphic organizer before the topic page, for notes)
• You Try It section

2) Practice page(s) for in-class practice or homework

Unit lessons/pages include:

Student Packet cover – can be colored/decorated
