Understanding Division with Fraction Strips

The video tutorial explains how to use fraction strips to find the quotient of a whole number divided by a fraction. It begins by estimating a range for the quotient, then explores examples of quotients that are too small and too large. Finally, it demonstrates how to calculate the exact quotient using fraction strips, concluding with a conceptual understanding of dividing whole numbers by fractions.

What is the main goal when using fraction strips in this lesson?

• To subtract fractions

• To find the sum of fractions

• To multiply fractions

• To find the quotient of a division problem

Why is dividing three by one considered too small a quotient?

• Because one is equal to three-fourths

• Because one is less than three-fourths

• Because one is not a fraction

• Because one is greater than three-fourths

What is the result of dividing three by one?

• One

• Three

• Two

• Four

Why is dividing three by one-half considered too large a quotient?

• Because one-half is not a fraction

• Because one-half is equal to three-fourths

• Because one-half is less than three-fourths

• Because one-half is greater than three-fourths

What is the result of dividing three by one-half?

• Seven

• Six

• Five

• Four

How do we find the specific quotient of three divided by three-fourths using fraction strips?
