How To Divide Mixed Numbers With A Fractions
Step 1:
TRY-TO-GUESS ACTIVITY
i) Mother prepares 1 1/2 vessels of orange juice.
ii) Then, mother pours the orange juice into half-vessels.
iii) How many half-vessels does mother need to fill in the orange juice?

Explain to kids that there are three 1/2 in 1 1/2.
Then express the activity above using a number sentence.

Step 2:
Prepares a 1 1/2 meter long rope, marker pen and a pair of scissors for each kid.
Then shows a number sentence below:

and ask the kids to interpret the number sentence above and do the rope-cutting.
• Next give a situation related to the number sentence above:
i) You have a 1 1/2 metres long rope.
ii) You need to cut the rope into equal pieces of 1/4 metres long each.
iii) How many equal pieces of rope can you get?

Kids will response to have six pieces of rope after division. Then explains to them that there are altogether six 1/4 in 1 1/2. The details has shown below.

Reinforcement With A Division Activity
• First introduce Roll-Your-Cone Game to the pupils.
• Then prepare 2 big-sized cone (as shown).
• Divides pupils into 2 groups; Group A and Group B.
• Each group will be given a cone.
• Group A will roll the cone first. The fraction shown will be the ‘Divisor’.
Then, Group B will roll the other cone and the fraction shown will be the ‘Dividend’.
• Both groups will find the quotient respectively.
• The correct answer will be given 2 marks and the incorrect answer will be given 0.
