The class consists of 20 fifth grade students. Five students are second language learners.
Zero students are learning disabled and or gifted. In the classroom there is five groups of desks
that consist of four desks. Each table has one student who is classified as a second language
learner.
The subject they are learning is long division.
Objective: Students will work in groups to be able to solve long division with proper
math work shown with at least 80% accuracy.
Procedures: Students will write long division notes in their math notebooks. Examples of
long division will be provided as well. I will explain verbally step by step the process in solving
the equation. Students will learn vocabulary words that will be used often when solving long
division.
Students will need to already know the concept of multiplication and how it works.
Students will also need to learn the concept of division, addition, and subtraction. The purpose of
this lesson is to understand the concept of long division when division problems are a bit more
complicated to do.
The teacher will explain long division by having the objective, lesson vocabulary words,
such as the word remainders, on the board. The objective and the vocabulary words should be
written neatly and ready for students to write in their math notebooks before the lesson begins.
This allows students to familiarized themselves with the lesson of the day and the vocab words
that they will hear through the lesson. Once the majority of the students have completed writing
the objective and vocab the teacher will then write on the board an example of long division. The
teacher will explain step by step on how to solve the equation and after every example the
teacher will write a different problem on the board and ask the students to try and solve it. Once

the lesson is over the students will work within their groups to solve the worksheet that the
teacher will provide for them.
Materials: The materials the students will be needing is the long division worksheet that
consists of 10 problems, long division homework sheet, pencil, eraser, white boards, dry erase
markers, multiplication table, and their notes that are written in their math notebooks.
Students will start by working within their table groups to solve the equations from the
worksheet. Once each table completes the worksheet than the students will split into two groups
each group consisting of 10 students to compete in a one on one problem solving on the board.
One student from each group will be chosen and that student is expected to be able to complete
the long division problem on the board. Once all the students have had a turn the winning team
will be declared.
Modifications: Students who are considered second language learners will have small
notes that correspond to important vocabulary that relates to the lesson. The teacher should
emphasize the words subtraction, division, remainders, and multiplication. If students grow
frustrated, then the teacher should ask what part of the problem is causing them distress and
work with through the problem with them. Once the problem is completed the teacher should
compliment them in their good work and give them another problem for them to work on.
Throughout the lesson teacher should be give a long division problem after each example
for the students to do on their own. Once the students have completed their practice problems in
their notebooks students should write their problem on the white boards and show you their work
and answers. Once the students are quicker with their responses with correct answers than the
teacher should know the objective has been met.

When the lesson is over and the students have finished the worksheet, they worked in
their groups of four, they will now divide into two groups. Ten students in each group. Once
each student has had a turn the winning group will be declared. The teacher will see the progress
of each student to check throughout the game if students are accurately answering problems. If a
student or both students get the problem wrong the teacher will step up and explain why it is
wrong and explain the correct way to solve it. Once the winning group is declared than it is time
to introduce the homework that will be assigned for the day. The teacher should review the
words that are in the worksheet and allow students to see the worksheet before asking them to
put it away. In future lessons the teacher will provide worksheets that have at least two-five long
division problems to keep the students learning current.
