Fraction Division: a ÷ b Partitive
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example illustrates partitive division, where a ÷ b = a/b. Using GeoGebra commands such as Point, Segment, Sequence, and Polygon, the process of fraction division is dynamically demonstrated. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn about fraction division and partitive division.
