Objective:
Students will recognize that dividing by a rational number and multiplying by its reciprocal results in equivalent values .
Students will write equations from real-world problems and then use inverse operations to solve one-step equations based on real world situations. Equations may include fractions and
decimals with non-negative solutions.
(The concept of reciprocal must be introduced and explored through models and visuals. (The reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by that number)).
Standards:
6.3(A) recognize that dividing by a rational number and multiplying by its reciprocal result in equivalent values

Differentiation:
Accommodations for instruction will be provided as stated on each student’s (IEP) Individual Education Plan for special education, 504, at risk, and ESL/Bilingual. Differentiation will be through small groups, visuals, use of calculators, extra time, supplemental aids and reteach if necessary.
Homework:
To be assigned.
