What if pupils find this a barrier?
If necessary revert to presenting questions orally, e.g. How many thirds are there in 11? How many fifths in 8? So how many two fifths are there in 8?
Encourage pupils to interpret written questions in these ways.
Support pupils in making the connection that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.
