Unit 4: Dividing Fractions Lesson 3: Interpreting Division Situations
In an earlier lesson, students were reminded of the connection between multiplication and division. They revisited the idea of division as a way to find a missing factor, which can either be the number of groups, or the size of one group.
In this lesson, students interpret division situations in story problems that involve equal-size groups. They draw diagrams and write division and multiplication equations to make sense of the relationship between known and unknown quantities (MP2).

This division task asks studnets to consider the conceptual understanding of something usually taught as a rote procedure. To be successful with this task, students must make sense of the procedure and how place value is represented and abbreviated within it.

Unit 4: Dividing Fractions Lesson 2: Meanings of Division
In this lesson, students revisit the relationship between multiplication and division that they learned in prior grades. Specifically, students recall that we can think of multiplication as expressing the number of equal-size groups, and that we can find a product if we know the number of groups and the size of each group. They interpret division as a way of finding a missing factor, which can either be the number of groups, or the size of one group. They do so in the context of concrete situations and by using diagrams and equations to support their reasoning.
As they represent division situations with diagrams and equations and interpret division equations in context, students reason quantitatively and abstractly (MP2).
