In math today we spent a lot of time solving the problem 5/9 divided by 2/3. The students worked together in groups and drew models. Almost everyone had the answer of 10/18. When I modeled how the answer is 15/18 they realized they had been dividing the thirds into 9ths instead of 18ths. It was a lot of fun. In the afternoon we worked with Keva Planks (if students had all work finished) and here are 2 videos.
