Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references

Before you begin

Use the prerequisite representations before moving to independent work.

How to use this worksheet

  1. Begin with: Write 2/3 and 1/6 with denominator 18.
  2. Connect the response to: Calculate (1/2) ÷ (3/4).
  3. Ask students to apply the idea: Draw a strip to show how six eighth-meter pieces cover three fourths of a meter.

A common mistake to discuss

Check the meaning of each quantity, the operation and the units; a numerical answer alone does not show the full reasoning.
