    • Division by fractions (Common Core, grade 6) is typically taught from a quotitive view: 2/3 divided by 1/4 becomes, “How many 1/4s are in 2/3?” The partitive view works well in many instances, and most students can readily understand it. Come test out these strategies, models, and activities for your classroom.
