This Dividing Fractions and Simplifying Fractions lesson workbook includes an example IEP goal, 22 step-by-step math lessons, reviews and assessments. This evidence-based math intervention is tied to fifth grade standards and is great for special education math goals and tier 2 small group math interventions (RTI).
These sequential lessons are easy to teach, with enough material for 5 weeks of instruction!
Divide Fractions
In this workbook, students will learn to rewrite fraction division problems as multiplication problems. The “invert and multiply” strategy is a reliable one that can be used with fractions and mixed numbers.
Simplify Fractions
These lessons cover two main topics: divisibility rules and simplifying fractions by cancelling prime factors.

Lessons Are Tied to These Fifth and Sixth Grade Math Standards:
- Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (a/b = a ÷ b). Solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to answers in the form of fractions or mixed numbers (CCSS 5.NF.B.3)
- Divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions. (CCSS 5.NF.B.7)
- Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions (CCSS 6.NS.A.1)
Teacher Feedback:
❤️ “These materials are a MUST for special education teachers. Fractions are difficult for a lot of students and this pacing and practice helps them to finally "get it" and be able to move on with confidence in their learning." -Tracey M.
❤️ “Love! Provided repetition and visuals that students with learning disabilities need." -Debra Z.
❤️ “This resource is great for Special Education students. I've used it for planning lessons for this next year and I am excited to teach them. The material is so much easier to understand than what I have used previously." -Kari E.
❤️ “It really breaks the concept down and helps students understand fractions." -Tonya T.
❤️ “My students love this program. They keep begging to do more pages in the packet :) It makes them feel successful in math class and boosts their confidence! Thank you!!" -Lisa L.
❤️ “I used this to teach my tier 3 math intervention students in grade 7. I loved the option of no cute clip art so it didn’t look babyish for my students. The progression from concrete to pictorial to abstract was perfect. My students felt more confident with fractions." -Sue W.
❤️ “I firmly believe there is no better math resource out there. This workbook is MIRACULOUS. No other videos, tutorials, or books come close to what this workbook offers - peaceful, easy learning. Amazing!" -Jennifer D.
❤️ “Amazing!!! So well thought out. There are so many opportunities for the students to practice their new skills too." -Jennifer L.

About the Author
Hi! I am a Special Education & Title 1 teacher interested in task analysis. My resources break tasks into small and explicit steps, reducing cognitive load for learners so they can feel successful and confident rather than overwhelmed and reluctant to try. I strive to lighten the workload of teachers by making resources as practical and easy-to-use as possible. I sincerely hope my work can benefit you and your students.
I appreciate your support and feedback.
