Math: Introduction of Division

11:15-12:05
Goals:
The students will begin to understand the process of division.
The students will understand the connection between multiplication and division.
Purpose:
The students will start learning division and applying it with hands on activities.
Standard:
3.OA.B.6 Understand division as an unknownfactor problem. For example, find 32 8
by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8.
Before:
Introduce the topic of division by saying division happens a lot in real life just like
multiplication, addition, and subtraction.
Talk to the students about using manipulatives. We will be working with disks and if we
work hard and do what we need to do with them I will let you play with them for a little
while after we are finished working.
During:
Division is splitting something equally. For instance, lets say you have 35 tickets and
you would like to share them with your five friends.
Have students try to figure it out at their desks with the disks.
As students share out loud as a class I will draw on the board to show what the student is
describing.
Have the students share with their partner and then share as a class.
o You divide the tickets among your friends. Each friend gets an equal number of
tickets.
o See how they each have two tickets? When you divide 35 tickets among five
friends, you create five equal groups of 2 tickets.
You have 32 cookies and 8 friends to share those cookies with. How will you divide
your 16 cookies evenly among your 8 friends? How many cookies will each friend get?
o Have students work on it individually, share with partner, and then share as a
class.
o Have students who share talk about what they did to solve it.
You found 25 dollars in the parking lot and you would like to split it evenly with your 5
friends. How will you divide the 25 dollars you found evenly among your 5 friends? How
much will each friend get?

After:

o Have students work on it individually, share with partner, and then share as a
class.
Model the above questions on the board.
Give directions about using manipulatives and then pass them out.
Anne has 36 marbles. If she shares them among 4 friends, how many marbles does each
friend get?
o Have students work on it individually, share with partner, and then share as a
class.
There are 8 students in the class and 16 crayons. If the crayons are divided equally
among the students, how many does each student get?
o Have students work on it individually, share with partner, and then share as a
class.

Review division: splitting things up equally


See if students can identify the connection between multiplication and division.
Talk about how they will be using different manipulatives to help learn division.
Give them free time to play with the disks if they worked well throughout the lesson.

Back up problems:
There are 4 students in the class and 32 tickets. If the tickets are divided equally among
the students, how many does each student get?
There are 9 students in the class and 63 pencils. If the pencils are divided equally among
the students, how many does each student get?
Bruce has 16 peanuts. If he shares them among 2 friends, how many peanuts does each
