    Dividing fractions is a concept 5th graders learn towards the end of their fractions lessons. With SplashLearn's divide fractions game, learners can conclude the concept of fractions on a high note and understand the most complicated part of this subject with ease and enjoyment!

    The Last Step in the Fraction Journey

    While teaching the division of fractions to kids, your concern should not be to make your child answer a problem. Instead, you need to understand what is going on in each question and all the basic knowledge. So here are some fun ways to help your kids learn divisions and fractions the fun way!

    The Best way to divide a fraction is to reverse one of the fractions. By doing so, the division sign changes into multiplication -

    For example, 

    The question is 12/3 divided by 4/3

    4/3 would become 3/4. Now since it is reciprocated, it has to be multiplied instead of dividing. Multiplying the two fractions together results in - 

    12/3 * 3/4

    1/1*3/1

    And the answer is 3.

    As you can see, fractions can be rather complicated to understand, especially for young kids. As a result, parents need to be creative when trying to teach them this concept. 

    Using Pizza to Teach Fractions

    A Whole Number Divided By Another Whole Number

    Example -

    If we have 4 pizzas and these are to be divided between 3 kids, then-

    3/4 = 3/4

    Each kid will have 3/4 of a pizza.

    Fraction Divided By the Whole Number

    Example -

    If half of the pizza is to be divided between 8 kids, then -

     (½)/ 8 = 1/16

    Each kid will have 1/16 of the pizza.

    Whole Number Divided By A Fraction 

    Example -

    There are 4 pizzas. Each pizza has to be divided into 1/8 slice

    4/ (⅛)

    There will be 32 slices.

    Fraction Divided By A Fraction

    Example - 

    ¾ pizza has to be divided into ⅛ slices

    (¾)/(⅛)

     There will be 6 slices.

    Potential Problems

    Your child can face several problems when trying to divide fractions. First, they should know the difference between multiplication and division. Second, they should know how to multiply fractions for division questions because dividing fractions is tough without multiplication.

    Dividing fractions is an easy operation if you teach your kids to divide any number by 1 to make it a fraction if they are working with whole numbers in a fraction problem. That is, three will become 3/1

    3/1 = 3

    {(4*3)+3}/4=15/4

    Fractionating the Problems 

    When it comes to the division of fractions, it becomes a little tricky to teach students verbally. On the other hand, it is easier to make them learn using games that have a lot of visuals and illustrations, as these make the learning process a lot more interesting. 

    SplashLearn has many fun games related to the division of fractions, such as - Divide Using Models, Select the Correct Expression, Find the Quotient, and Divide and Match. For example, with Divide using models, kids have to select an appropriate option from four different balloons floating in the sea, with a problem placed over them. Selecting the correct option earns them a little celebratory tone, whereas incorrect options prompt them to give it another shot.
