Imagine you have half a pizza left over, and you want to share it equally with a friend. How much of the whole pizza does each person get?

Sharing with Fraction Circles

When we divide a fraction like 12\frac{1}{2} by 22, we cut that half into two equal pieces.
Cutting the half into two pieces makes each piece one-fourth (14\frac{1}{4}) of the entire pizza.
What if our food is shaped like a candy bar instead of a circle?

Slicing with Bar Models

A bar model lets us see every slice clearly in a straight line. Let's find 13÷2\frac{1}{3} \div 2.
When you cut each third in half, the whole bar now has 6 equal parts. So 13÷2=16\frac{1}{3} \div 2 = \frac{1}{6}.
What happens when the starting fraction has more than one piece, like 34\frac{3}{4}?

Let's share 34\frac{3}{4} of a cake equally between 2 friends.
