Dividing Fractions

We have learnt to use the KFC method to divide fractions by an intergers. Remember, you need to change the integer into a fraction.

K = keep (we keep the first fraction)

F = flip (we flip the new fraction so the denominator now becomes the numerator and the numerator now becomes the denominator)

C = change (we change the divison symbol to a multiplication symbol then just multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators)

Below is a video to support you with the KFC method if needed.

Long Divison

There are two methods we have leant for long division: the arrow method and chunking (the magic 7). Below are some questions linked to long division. You can also find two calculation videos to support you with your learning. In these calculation videos, I talk through how to complete either the arrow method or the chunking method and complete some model questions. Some questions will have remainders.

Multpilying fractions by an integer

To mutliply a fraction by an integer, we need to change the interger into a fraction by giving it a denominator of 1. We then need to multiply the numerators and mutliply the denominators. We then need to check if the fraction can be turned into an integer, you can use your times table knowledge to support you with this. For example if the fraction was 345/5, we know that this can be changed into an integer because all multiples of 5 end in a 5 or a 0. Use the image below to support you if needed.

Multiples and Factors

Remember a multiple is the number a multiplication produces, for example 24 is a multiple of 4. A factor is a number which produces an answer when multiplied with another. For example 6 is a factor of 12. We can use factor bugs to help us to idenitfy factors. Remember, a composite number is a number with more than 2 factors and a number whose only factors are itself and one are called prime numbers.

Angles

Remember, angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees and all angles in a quadrileteral add up to 360 degrees, A quadrilateral is a four sided shape. Also remember that all angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees. In addition to this, adjacent (opposite) angles measure the same.
