Features

  • Two quick questions a ticket
  • An "I can" line and three faces for students to rate themselves
  • Divide a unit fraction by a whole number on an area model, and a whole number by a unit fraction on a number line
  • Check a division by multiplying, and find a missing number
  • Two short division stories: servings and sharing
  • Tickets 9.5 to 9.8 (a fraction divided by a fraction, fractions as decimals, one number line, percents) are for the states that teach them in 5th grade
  • Answer keys for every ticket

Skills Covered

  • A unit fraction divided by a whole number
  • A whole number divided by a unit fraction
  • Checking a division by multiplying
  • Division stories
  • A fraction divided by a fraction
  • Fractions as decimals and back
  • Fractions and decimals on one number line
  • Percents as parts of 100

How to Use This Pack

Eight exit tickets, one for each lesson of the 5th grade unit on dividing fractions, in lesson order. Each page holds one lesson's ticket four times: copy the page, cut on the dashed lines, and seven copies give a class of 28 a ticket each. A ticket takes a few minutes at the end of the lesson. Students answer two short questions, then circle a face beside the lesson's "I can" line to show how sure they feel.

In the Classroom

Hand out the tickets in the last five minutes of the lesson and collect them at the door. Sort them into three piles (got it, almost, not yet) to plan tomorrow's small groups. The faces show how students feel about the lesson, the answers show what they can do; the two do not always agree. Tickets 9.5 to 9.8 are for the states that teach dividing by any fraction, fractions as decimals and percents in 5th grade; skip them if your class does not. No ticket asks a problem from the practice sheets the lesson plans use.

At Home

Use a ticket as a quick check after practicing a skill together. Ask your child how many 1/2 cup scoops fill a 7 cup bowl, then to check the answer by multiplying.

Tips for Success

  • Ask "how many of these fit in that?" before dividing by a unit fraction
  • Have students draw the model before writing the equation
  • Check every quotient by multiplying it by the divisor
  • Read decimals aloud as fractions: 0.27 is twenty-seven hundredths
  • Keep the tickets for each lesson to see who has caught up

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • 4.NF.A.2 Compare fractions with different numerators and denominators using common denominators or numerators, or a benchmark like 1/2; record with >, = or < and explain.
  • 4.NF.C.5 Rewrite tenths as hundredths, such as 7/10 = 70/100, to add a fraction in tenths to one in hundredths.
  • 4.NF.C.6 Write fractions with denominators 10 or 100 as decimals, such as 45/100 = 0.45, and find decimals like these on a number line.
  • 5.NBT.A.3b Compare two decimals to the thousandths by the value of the digits in each place, and record the result with >, = or <.
  • 5.NF.B.7a Divide a unit fraction by a whole number, such as (1/2) ÷ 3 = 1/6, using models and stories, and check by multiplying.
  • 5.NF.B.7b Find how many unit fractions fit in a whole number, such as 3 ÷ (1/4) = 12, using models and stories, and check by multiplying.
  • 5.NF.B.7c Solve real-life problems that divide unit fractions by whole numbers or whole numbers by unit fractions, like how many 1/4-cup scoops fill 3 cups.

5th Grade Dividing Fractions Exit Tickets

5th Grade

Exit tickets for every lesson of a unit on dividing with unit fractions, and on fractions, decimals and percents as one number. Students divide on area models and number lines, check by multiplying, solve stories, and write fractions as decimals and percents.
