Dividing Fractions by Morris M. Centeno
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates the process of dividing fractions. It involves the core mathematical concept of fraction division. Using GeoGebra commands such as Intersect, Point, Polygon, etc., a geometric model of fraction division is constructed. Suitable for high-grade elementary or junior high school students to learn the concept and operations of fraction division.
