What are some easy and fast tips for separating the garage a little? I want to section off part of it. Was thinking about a combo of wood and chicken wire. I want something easy, fast, cheap, and something I can take down later if I don't want it anymore.

It really depends on what your plans are for the space.
You said wood and chicken wire, so is it for pets?
All you really need is wood along the ceiling, and wood on the floor, and uprights between the floor and ceiling to hold whatever you want the walls to be made of. Very easy to do. The hardest thing will be to secure the wood to the concrete floor. You can use concrete nails, concrete screws, or a ramset.
For the walls you could do chicken wire (kind of tacky if you ask me).
Cardboard from appliance boxes (really cheap!).
Thin paneling.
Plywood.
Drywall.
It all depends on the function and what you want it to look like.

The function will be temporary and something that I can take down later. I don't care what it looks like. The concrete floor though is what I don't know about. Seems kinda long term to secure it to the concrete.

How about hanging some rods from the ceiling and using bedsheets as a sort of "curtain." Not sure if you're trying to just hide something or actually contain something.

For a temporary non-load-bearing and non-secure partition, just use 2" x3" wood and tack it in place with glue. Chicken wire keeps chickens on one side of it, but even other animals can get through easily. On the plus side, it is fireproof and relatively cheap. 3/8" drywall is usually cheap, if you keep from breaking it.

Hmm, both good tips. 1. How would I hang a rod from the ceiling? Wouldn't it be too heavy? 2. And would glue be able to come up if I don't want it anymore?

How about not beating around the bush- tell us the what, where, and why. Then I'm sure someone can give you specifics as to how and what materials to use.

Sliding barn doors!
Add: attached from ceiling & slight gap from the floor.
My MIL did that for her garage.
