How do we do this "new" way of dividing?

Me too! Stated grades don't necessarily align with learning standards here in BC but the progression -- ideas, models, etc. that built on one another within and across grades -- stands.
I love Graham Fletcher's ability to break down topics like the progression of how students learn about fractions in such an intuitive way. Watch and share his video with your teacher friends. gfletchy.com/progression-of-…

I remember learning about the associative property in school and remembered it was so boring, but it can help us with mental math!

I asked a student today which of these fractions was not equal to 1/2. He said, "It has to be one of those with a 3 on top--they can't both be 1/2" I'd never heard that before.
