Dividing Fractions by Integers WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Introduce students to dividing fractions by whole numbers through a carefully sequenced mix of visual, procedural, and reasoning tasks.
Section A uses bar models to show what dividing a fraction means, helping learners grasp the concept before moving to symbolic calculations. Section B builds fluency by matching division expressions to their equivalent multiplication-by-reciprocal forms and practising straightforward problems. Section C deepens understanding with error-spotting and gap-fill questions that highlight common misconceptions and reinforce correct methods.
The progression from visual to abstract strengthens conceptual understanding while supporting confidence and accuracy.
