KSP Математика 6 grade: Деление дробей

This Grade 6 Mathematics lesson plan on “Dividing Fractions” helps teachers teach students to correctly divide fractions using multiplication by the reciprocal, developing calculation skills and practical applications.

Lesson objective: to teach students to divide fractions using dividend × reciprocal of divisor, and reducing fractions before operation.

Expected outcomes:

students can divide fractions using reciprocal fractions;
reduce fractions before division to simplify calculations;
apply division of fractions in practical and learning tasks;
understand the practical significance of dividing fractions.

Lesson structure:

Organization
Greeting.
Prior knowledge
Review fraction, numerator, denominator, reciprocal fraction, reduction.
New topic
Divide fractions: dividend × reciprocal of divisor
Reduce fractions before division
Examples:
2/3 ÷ 4/5 = 2/3 × 5/4 = 10/12 = 5/6
5/8 ÷ 2/3 = 5/8 × 3/2 = 15/16
Practice
Divide 3/7 ÷ 2/5
Divide 4/9 ÷ 3/8
Solve: 5/6 ÷ 2/3
