Additional Information

1.  What will you get when you divide 65 by 13? and What does the division of one number by another mean? are purely checking conceptual knowledge. No learning by doing happening here.
2. Making a flag for your class where one-third of the flag is blue is less appropriate as students will be less actively involved than the task of distributing drawing sheets among the class.
