My post this week was on dividing fractions. Below is the worksheet that I completed.

My reflection on this was, I completely forgot the process! I was just expecting to divide the fraction, and then simplify the fraction. I forgot that I needed to turn the division sign, into a multiplication sign, and flip the other fraction over, find it's reciprocal. Then multiply the numerators, which will be the top numbers, and that gave me the top portion of my answer, and then I had to multiply the denominators, the bottom part, and that gave me the bottom portion of my answer. Then I had to simplify the fraction! Wow. I would have just divided each fraction. I forgot how lengthy of a process this is! But, I will say that I am happy I did this worksheet for this week because it refreshed my memory. I am definitely going to keep this within reach.
