Dividing Fractions with Visual Models

The video tutorial explains how to divide fractions using a grid model. It begins with an introduction to the method, followed by two detailed examples. The first example involves dividing fractions by creating a grid with vertical and horizontal lines, shading and circling sections to find the answer. The second example follows a similar process with different fractions. The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to subscribe and share.

What is the first step in dividing fractions using a model?

• Count the shaded boxes

• Draw a box and create a grid

• Reduce the final fraction

• Shade in the vertical columns
