Lesson Plan: Division of Fractions

Subject: Mathematics
Grade Level: Class 5
Duration: 40 minutes
Topic: Division of Fractions

General Objectives

This lesson aims to help students understand the concept of dividing fractions in a meaningful way.
Students will learn the method of dividing fractions and apply it to solve problems. The lesson also
focuses on building conceptual understanding rather than rote memorization.

Specific Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to explain the process of dividing one fraction by another,
demonstrate the method of finding the reciprocal, apply the concept to solve simple and real-life word
problems, and participate actively in a collaborative activity to reinforce their understanding.

Previous Knowledge

Students are already familiar with the concept of fractions, including equivalent fractions, multiplication
of fractions, and the meaning of a reciprocal as introduced in earlier classes.

Teaching Aids

The teacher will use a whiteboard, markers, fraction strips or paper cut-outs of fractions, and worksheets
for practice.

Introduction (5 minutes)

The teacher begins the lesson by presenting a simple real-life scenario to grab the students’ attention.
The teacher asks, “If you have half a chocolate bar and you want to share it equally between two friends,
how much chocolate will each friend get?” The students are encouraged to think and respond. The
teacher then writes the question as a mathematical expression, ½ ÷ 2, and asks if anyone can suggest
how to find the answer. After listening to a few responses, the teacher explains that today’s lesson will
explore how to divide fractions and why we use a reciprocal in the process.

Presentation (15 minutes)


The teacher writes an example on the board,

⅔ ÷ ¼,

and asks students to think about what this means. The teacher explains that dividing ⅔ by ¼ is asking,
“How many one-fourths are there in two-thirds?” Using fraction strips or drawings on the board, the
teacher visually demonstrates how many times ¼ fits into ⅔. After showing the visual representation, the
teacher introduces the concept of reciprocal and explains the “Keep, Change, Flip” method. The first
fraction (⅔) is kept as it is, the division sign is changed to multiplication, and the second fraction (¼) is
flipped to become 4/1. The teacher solves it step by step on the board

: ⅔ × 4/1 = 8/3 or 2⅔.

Students are encouraged to ask questions and clarify their doubts during this explanation.

Classroom Activity (10 minutes)

To make the concept more interactive, the teacher organizes a hands-on activity called “Fraction
Challenge.” Students are divided into small groups. Each group is given a set of cards with different
division of fraction problems and a set of fraction strips. The challenge is for each group to solve the
problems by showing both the mathematical solution and a visual representation using the strips. For
example, one card may say ¾ ÷ ½. Students first show how many halves fit into three-fourths using the
strips, then write the solution using the reciprocal method. Groups present one of their solved problems
to the class.

Application (5 minutes)

The teacher gives a real-life word problem for individual practice. “A recipe requires ⅓ of a cup of sugar.
If you have 2 cups of sugar, how many batches of the recipe can you make?” Students solve the problem
in their notebooks, and the teacher walks around to provide support as needed.

Conclusion (5 minutes)

The teacher asks students to explain, in their own words, how to divide fractions. A few students share
their explanations with the class. The teacher summarizes the lesson by emphasizing the key concept: to
divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. As a final check for
understanding, the teacher asks a quick oral question: “What is 5/6 ÷ 1/3?” Students respond, and the
teacher gives feedback.

Evaluation
The teacher assesses students through observation during the activity, the accuracy of their solutions in
the group work and individual practice, and their ability to explain the concept verbally during the
conclusion.

Homework

Students are assigned a worksheet containing five problems on division of fractions, including one real-
life word problem.
