A Collection of Card Sorts: Friendly Fraction Quotients

Each slide has three sets of cards that include: story, fraction division expression, and quotient, along with "imposter" cards that do not fit in the sets. Slide one sets include common whole number dividend. Slide two sets include common fraction dividend with friendly divisors. Slide three sets include dividends and divisors with differing denominators. All quotients are whole numbers. Assign a single sort or use them all. Students are notified when they have sorted correctly. (CL coding idea courtesy of David Petros) Allow successful students to act as "advisors" to others until most of the class has correctly completed the task.
