Dividing Fractions Progression and Practice

In this activity the idea is that to help students develop tools for fraction division and eventually get to the fraction division algorithm conceptually. One way to do that without just telling them the rules is to use a progression of successively more and more complex problems. This video was based on a method discussed here https://youtu.be/yERYbPFfus4 Your students are encouraged to use this app so they can have digital fraction strips to use: https://mathigon.org/polypad and choose Fractions from the left hand menu The fraction template used in the Challenge Creator was borrowed from this activity from Jennifer Vadnais https://teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilder/custom/57d767ad1affb4830c6cfa66 French version translated by Pascale Gallacher: https://teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilder/custom/5ebe9cf6dda43c0d020a6069
