By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
- Calculate fractions of whole numbers using division method
- Solve word problems involving fractions of quantities

# data[].attributes.body
Students can:
1. Convert a fraction of a quantity into a calculation
2. Use division to find fractions of amounts
3. Apply this knowledge to real-world problems

Quick recall: Students solve basic fraction problems on mini-whiteboards:
- ½ of 10
- ¼ of 20
- ⅓ of 15

Teacher demonstrates the division method:
To find a fraction of an amount:
1. Divide by the denominator
2. Multiply by the numerator
Example: ⅔ of 24 = 24 ÷ 3 × 2 = 16

Using Padlet's collaboration feature, students work in pairs to solve:
1. ¾ of 28
2. ⅔ of 30
3. ⅕ of 45
Each pair posts their solutions and method.
