SDLP in Math 3 - Dividing Two - To Three-Digit Whole Numbers by Two-Digit Divisors
Digit Divisors
I. Objectives:
At the end of the 50 minute-lesson, 85% Of the learners will be able to:
Guided Practice:
Step 1: Estimate the quotient. Ask students to round 12 to the nearest ten and
divide 230 (an easier number to work with) to estimate the quotient.
Example Breakdown:
Divide the first digit: How many times does 12 go into 23? (1 time)
Multiply: 1 × 12 = 12
Subtract: 23 - 12 = 11
Multiply: 9 × 12 = 108
Remainder: 6
Independent Practice:
1. 486 ÷ 24
2. 732 ÷ 18
3. 125 ÷ 25
4. 512 ÷ 32
4. Application
The teacher will divide the class into 5 groups. Each group will work on a specific
real-world division problem. After discussing and solving their problem, each group will
present their findings to the class.
Group 1
If 150 apples are to be divided among 12 baskets, how many apples will each
basket get?
Group 2
A teacher has 240 pencils and wants to divide them equally among 20
