Strategies used in grades 3-5
 * Whole Numbers**



Progression document for 3-5 Number and Operations - Fractions. Contains helpful fraction strategies. Lessons for fraction division > Given problems involving whole numbers, students analyze responses to two different types of division problems and discuss how the inclusion of the language of sharing and grouping will help them recognize situations that require division. Students then solve a sequence of problems organized to provide scaffolding for understanding of an algorithm for division of fractions. Emphasis will be placed on using pictures or diagrams and written descriptions of the thought processes involved to support solutions and the development of an algorithm.  In this lesson students represent division of fractions using manipulatives, such as freezer pops, candy bars, and models  such as drawings squares. Students develop an algorithm from these examples and solve problems using fractions.
