LESSON PLAN

INTRO TO DIVISION
GRADES 3-5
SUMMARY

In this lesson, students gradually integrate division into the family of operations they are already familiar with. They begin
dividing by distributing objects into groups one by one, then by distributing equal numbers of objects in one round, and
finally, by connecting the concept of division to multiplication.

COMMON CORE STANDARD(S)


3.OA.A.1 Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7
objects each.
3.OA.A.2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each
share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are
partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each.
3.OA.A.3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays,
and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to
represent the problem.
3.OA.C.7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and
division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade
3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.

ENGAGE AND EXPLORE

For students to fully meet the learning goals of this lesson, they need a strong understanding of multiplication. Before
any discussion of division or equal distribution begins, teachers should ensure that students are well prepared to
multiply. The opening activity should lead students to recall that multiplication means adding together equal groups of
numbers or objects. Students should have some type of manipulatives that they can physically count and put into and
out of groups. If manipulatives are not available, show students how to draw them.
Activity: Give students a few multiplication word problems to start with.
1. You have 3 packs of bubblegum. Each pack has 5 pieces. How many pieces of bubblegum do you have in total?
2. You are baking muffins, and each muffin gets 9 blueberries. If you make 8 muffins, how many blueberries do
you need?
3. You earn $6 a day for helping your neighbor with their garden. How much money do you have after 7 days?
Next, give students a set of manipulatives. Make sure that each group of students has enough manipulatives to model
the products below. Ask them to use the manipulatives to show how to multiply the following numbers:
a. 4 × 3 b. 7 × 4 c. 8 × 5
Students should be allowed to experiment and try different ways of modeling the multiplication. They will use these same
models later in order to divide.

ELABORATE

Direct students to use their new understanding to complete the practice problem worksheets. Page 1 contains bare
mathematical problems to solidify understanding of the process. Page 2 contains application problems for students to
apply the process to solve real-world problems.

EVALUATE

Have students gather in groups of 2 or 4 to compare and discuss their answers to the problems. Allow students
enough time to communicate with their peers about their process and their thinking. Encourage students to use
correct mathematical language when discussing their process. Have each group choose two questions they want more
information about, or they want to discuss as a class.

When groups are ready, take questions from students. Encourage groups to answer questions brought up by other
groups.

Students can play the online Kahoot! quiz game located below the video. It provides downloadable scores at the end
of the quiz game. Alternatively, you can use the paper quiz, or the exit ticket questions. All these resources are located
below the video in the assessment section.
