Agent Park has 4 pounds of evidence powder. Each testing bag holds exactly 1/2 pound. He needs to prepare as many testing bags as possible before the lab deadline. How many bags can he fill?

A bar model of a 3-hour afternoon session filled with equal 45-minute activities.

🔹 How much total powder does Agent Park have?

🔹 How much goes into each bag?

🔹 Will the number of bags be more or less than 4?

🔹 Why does dividing by 1/2 give a number larger than 4?

🔹 How is dividing by a fraction related to multiplying?

Concept Launch

💡 How do I divide a whole number by a fraction?

👩‍🏫 Say: This is the big idea for today. Students should be able to repeat it by the end.

Dividing a whole number by a fraction asks how many of those pieces fit, or how much is in one whole. 4 ÷ 1/2 counts halves: every whole holds 2 halves, so the answer is 4 × 2 = 8. That is why the shortcut called Keep, Change, Flip works — dividing by a fraction gives the same answer as multiplying by its reciprocal. Check by multiplying: 8 × 1/2 = 4.

Key Idea:

Dividing Whole Numbers by Fractions. Formula: a ÷ (b/c) = a × (c/b). 1. Name the question: 4 ÷ 1/2 asks how many 1/2s fit in 4. 2. Count with a model: each whole holds 2 halves, so 4 wholes hold 4 × 2 = 8 halves. 3. Shortcut: multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor, 6 ÷ 3/4 = 6 × 4/3 = 8, then check by multiplying: 8 × 3/4 = 6

Term / Término	Meaning / Significado	Visual
Divide Whole Numbers by Fractions Dividir números enteros entre fracciones	Find how many fractional groups fit in a whole number by multiplying by the reciprocal. Hallar cuántos grupos fraccionarios caben en un número entero multiplicando por el recíproco.	4 ÷ 1/2 = 4 × 2 = 8
Whole Number Número entero	A counting number with no fraction or decimal, like 0, 1, 2, 3. Un número de contar sin fracción ni decimal, como 0, 1, 2, 3.	4 is a whole number; as a fraction it is 4/1
Fraction Fracción	A number that shows part of a whole, like 3/4. Un número que muestra una parte de un todo, como 3/4.	1/2 means 1 out of 2 equal parts — like cutting a sandwich in half and taking one piece
Reciprocal Recíproco	A fraction turned upside down. Una fracción volteada de arriba abajo.	The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2. Flip the fraction to divide: 6 ÷ 2/3 = 6 × 3/2
Keep, Change, Flip Mantener, cambiar, invertir	A shortcut for dividing fractions: keep the first number, change ÷ to ×, flip the second. It works because dividing by a fraction gives the same answer as multiplying by its reciprocal. Un atajo para dividir fracciones: deja el primer número, cambia ÷ por × y voltea el segundo. Funciona porque dividir entre una fracción da lo mismo que multiplicar por su recíproco.	6 ÷ 1/3 → Keep 6, Change ÷ to ×, Flip 1/3 to 3/1 → 6 × 3 = 18
Quotient Cociente	The answer when you divide. La respuesta cuando divides.	In 4 ÷ 1/2 = 8, the quotient is 8

🎯 Listen For · Common Errors

• Students see that 4 ÷ 1/2 = 8 and explain there are 2 halves in each whole pound.

• Students correctly flip the divisor to its reciprocal (3) and explain multiplying by the reciprocal gives the same result as dividing.

• Students give a realistic portion/serving scenario and set it up as whole ÷ fraction.

• Listen for students naming a specific strategy tied to 6.NOS.1 — not just "I multiplied." They should connect steps to the key idea.

Common mistake: A common mistake in Divide Whole Numbers by Fractions is doing 'Keep, Change' but skipping the 'Flip' — students multiply by the divisor as it is instead of by its reciprocal. For example, for 6 ÷ 3/4, a student might write 6 × 3/4 = 4 1/2 and stop there, but the divisor 3/4 must be flipped to 4/3 first: 6 × 4/3 = 24/3 = 8. Before you submit, check: did I flip the second fraction (the divisor) upside down before multiplying?

Answer Key (Teacher Appendix)

Hide this slide during presentation or move to the end of your copy.

✓ Practice 1: 9 — 6 ÷ 2/3 = 6 × 3/2 = 18/2 = 9. Keep 6, change ÷ to ×, flip 2/3 to 3/2.

✓ Practice 2: 8 pounds — 3 fourths of the tub hold 6 pounds, so 1 fourth holds 6 ÷ 3 = 2 pounds and the whole tub (4 fourths) holds 4 × 2 = 8 pounds. The shortcut agrees: 6 × 4/3 = 24/3 = 8. Check: 3/4 × 8 = 6.

✓ Practice 3: 15 feet — 5 feet is one third of the roll, and a whole roll is 3 thirds: 5 ÷ 1/3 = 5 × 3 = 15 feet. Check by multiplying: 1/3 × 15 = 5.

✓ Practice 4: 18 — 6 ÷ 1/3 = 6 × 3/1 = 18. There are 18 thirds in 6 wholes.

✓ Exit ticket: 27 — 9 ÷ 1/3 = 9 × 3/1 = 27. There are 27 thirds in 9 wholes. Check by multiplying: 27 × 1/3 = 9.
