Resumen
Presentamos varios métodos inventados por alumnos de 5º a 8º grados para resolver problemas de división de fracciones. Para cada método discutimos cómo el maestro puede ayudar a los alumnos a desarrollar su comprensión de la comparación multiplicativa de fracciones, enfatizando principios matemáticos fundamentales que les permitan extender, generalizar y relacionar sus métodos con otros métodos. Los métodos presentados son sustracción repetida e interpretación del residuo, uso de la identidad y los inversos multiplicativos, división como factor faltante, razonamiento proporcional inverso y directo, división de fracciones como composición de operaciones, y división de fracciones como una razón entre dos cantidades.
