A. The Lesson
1. Introduction (5 minutes)
Today we will be starting a new lesson over dividing with fractions. We just got done
with multiplication in the previous lesson. In the number sentence 21 ÷ 7 = 3. 21 is the
dividend, 7 is the divisor, and 3 is the result of the number sentence or quotient.
The vocabulary can be used in place of those numbers: dividend ÷ divisor = quotient.
When we have a division problem like 12 ÷ 5, what does the answer mean?
The answer should tell you how many fives are in 12. Since the whole number of fives
2
does not fit into 12, you may write: 12 ÷ 5 = 25. What does that fractional part of the
answer mean?
2
The answer means you can only make 2 fives and 5 of another five.
2. Content Delivery (15 minutes)
Problem 3.1 – we need solve the problem, draw a model, write a number sentence and
explain what that means.
Mrs. Drake is grilling the hamburgers. Some people like big patties, some medium
patties, and some small patties.
1 7
o How many 8-pound patties can she make from 8 of a pound of hamburger?
7 1
÷8 = 7 patties
8
2 7
o How many 8-pound patties can she make from 8 of a pound of hamburger?
7 2 1
÷ 8 = 3 2 patties

3 1
o A teacher brings 2 4 pounds of hamburger to make 4-pound patties. How many
patties can he make?
3 1
24 ÷ 4 = 11 patties
Sam has ¾ of a can of hot chocolate mix for drinks to keep everyone warm. To make a
cup of hot chocolate, Sam adds hot water to one scoop of hot chocolate mix. The scoop
1
holds 24 of a can. How many cups of hot chocolate can Sam make?
3 𝑥 3 6 18
= 24 … 4 X 6 = 24 so 18 cups of hot chocolate.

1 1
Tom decided not to use the 24 scoop used by Sam. Instead, he uses a scoop that is 8 of a
3
can of hot chocolate mix. Tom and Sam each start with the same amount, 4 of a can of
hot chocolate mix. Who can make more cups of hot chocolate? Explain.
1 1
Since each cup is taking more of the mix 8 is larger than 24 so tom will make less than
Sam. Sam will make more.
