This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers."Launch, Explore, Discuss" is a research-based lesson framework where students grapple with a task and then come together to share strategies used.  The introduction of new strategies is delayed until after grappling.  This is the primary lesson framework for the Tools4Teachers lessons. This resource serves as a professional development tool, explaining the benefits of this lesson framework and outlining each component.

This packet contains a curriculum-embedded aligned task and instructional supports. The task, Time for Recess, has been designed to give a thorough understanding of multiplication of fractions, using both an area model and the algorithm. After an in-depth unit of study involving multiplication of fractions through modeling and use of the standard algorithm, students will complete three real-world problems to demonstrate an understanding of interpreting a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator and multiplying fractions using an area model and the standard algorithm.

This activity is made up of four different tasks that require students to divide 23 by 5. The different contexts presented in each task requires students to consider when an answer to such a problem should be reported as a whole number with a remainder or a mixed number/decimal. Discussing the varied contexts of these tasks will help students develop a deeper understanding of division as an operation.

When a division problem involving whole numbers does not result in a whole number quotient, it is important for students to be able to decide whether the context requires the result to be reported as a whole number with remainder or a mixed number.
