Essential Questions Unit: How do I work with numbers that are part of a whole? How do I compute with fractions? Lesson: How many groups of the divisor can I get from the dividend?”
Vocabulary Dividend: (the amount you begin with) Divisor: (the size of each group you will make) Quotient: (the number of groups of the divisor that are in the dividend) Compute: (a math process like +, -. x, ÷ Whole: (one complete thing)
