Partnering in Fraction Division

Worksheet Description

This is a partner activity. Each partner will solve fraction division problems in column a or b.  The problems require you to divide a whole number by a fraction. This worksheet is structured for a collaborative learning experience in dividing fractions, designed for two partners to work together. It features two columns of fraction division problems, labeled Column A and Column B. Partner A is assigned to solve the problems in Column A, while Partner B works on Column B. The intention is that both partners arrive at the same answer for corresponding problems, and if they do not, they are encouraged to work together to review their work and make any necessary corrections.

The worksheet is teaching students the process of dividing fractions, promoting both individual practice and peer collaboration. By having each partner solve different problems that should result in the same answer, the activity encourages students to discuss and compare their division strategies and solutions, reinforcing their understanding. This peer review process not only enhances learning by allowing students to teach and correct each other but also helps develop their communication and critical thinking skills. Moreover, it provides an opportunity for students to engage with the material in a social context, which can be beneficial for those who learn best through interaction.
