Dividing a fraction by a fraction.
Ever wonder why we 'flip and multiply'? Not many people seem to do so, and learners are too happy to follow the rules, and forget the rules. 'When do I do this and when do I do that?'
Here is a colourful diagrammatic presentation that recaps on dividing by unit fractions, then goes on to illustrate why we multiply by the denominator, and divide by the numerator, ie 'flip and multiply'. Give your learners the 'why' and they might remember the 'when'!
Questions at every point for class discussion and teacher explanation, and a set of questions at the end for learners to try, with full answers.
Plus differentiated worksheet, two exercises, one just proper fractions, one mixed numbers.
