Big Ideas
- Fractions represent division, and understanding this connection helps us work flexibly with numbers.
- Different notations and representations can express the same mathematical relationship.
Essential Questions
- How can we show division in different ways using numbers and symbols?
- Why does the fraction a/b mean the same as a ÷ b when b is not zero?
- How does using fraction notation help us represent or solve problems involving division?
- In what situations is it helpful to interchange between a ÷ b and a/b?
