Abstract

Division of fractions has caused confusion for pupils and irresolution in teachers for many years. Its rationalization in terms sixth-grade pupils will understand is difficult. Even the authorities on the teaching of arithmetic disagree on the best method of coping with this problem. Recommendations encompass the common denominator and inversion methods and, of late, the complex fraction (reciprocal) method.
