Dividing Fractions with Like and Unlike Denominators
A practice worksheet for 5th graders that walks through dividing fractions with like denominators using the Keep-Change-Flip method, supported by a worked example and fraction bar model. It builds procedural fluency and an understanding of reciprocals, and it is well suited to a 30-45 minute independent or partner practice block.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Introduce the Keep-Change-Flip steps with the worked example on the board before students attempt problems on their own.
- Discussion question: Why does dividing 4/5 by 2/5 give the same answer as asking how many groups of 2/5 fit into 4/5?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: have them shade fraction bar models first to visualize how many halves or groups fit, then connect that picture to the Keep-Change-Flip steps.
- Extension for advanced students: ask them to explain why the method works for unlike denominators, or to compare the answers from Keep-Change-Flip with common-denominator reasoning.
- Estimated time: about 30-45 minutes including the worked example and a set of practice problems.
