In this lesson, children divide fractions where the numerator is not a multiple of the integer they are dividing by. They will explore the use of equivalent fractions where the numerator is a multiple of the integer. They will draw and divide diagrams to understand the process and make the link between multiplying by a unit fraction and dividing by an integer, spotting the pattern that the numerator stays the same and the denominator is multiplied by the integer. This lesson includes a teaching presentation accompanied by differentiated activities with a range of fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions.
