Description: Do you need a great introduction activity that will get your students creating division of fraction visual models AND discovering the rules behind dividing fractions? This is a great discovery lesson for this. By connecting to real-world scenarios (leftover cake at a birthday party and sharing candy bars . . . yum!), students will grasp these sometimes hard to learn concepts and realize just how easy it can be! This resource includes two activities: - Candy Bar Fractions - This activity shows students how to divide a whole number by a fraction through 7 modeling problems dealing with equally sharing candy bars. -Happy Birthday Fractions - This activity shows students how to divide a fraction by a whole number through 7 modeling problems dealing with equally sharing birthday cake.
