Lesson Plan 1 division
Grade Level: 1
Subject: Mathematics
Duration: 1 hour
Date: [Insert Date]
Teacher: [Insert Name]
Objectives:
1. Students will understand the concept of division as sharing or grouping.
2. Students will be able to solve simple division problems using objects and number sentences.
3. Students will demonstrate the ability to divide sets of objects into equal groups.
Materials:
Counters (e.g., blocks, buttons, or beads)
Whiteboard and markers
Division worksheets
Visual aids (e.g., division charts)
Storybooks that involve division concepts
Procedure:
1. Introduction (10 minutes)
Start the lesson by asking students if they know what division means.
Explain that division is when we share or group things into equal parts.
Use a simple example, such as sharing 6 apples among 2 friends, and ask how many apples
each friend gets.
2. Direct Instruction (15 minutes)
Demonstrate division using counters. For instance, show 8 counters and explain how to divide
them into 4 equal groups.
Count the number of counters in each group and write the number sentence on the board (e.g.,
8 ÷ 4 = 2).
Explain how division tells us how many are in each group when we share equally.
3. Guided Practice (15 minutes)
Give each student or pair of students a set of counters.
Ask them to create their own groups (e.g., 10 counters shared among 5 friends) and find out
how many are in each group.
Have them write down their corresponding division sentences (e.g., 10 ÷ 5 = 2).
Assist students as needed, ensuring they understand the sharing concept.
4. Independent Practice (15 minutes)
Provide worksheets with simple division problems and pictures to help visualize the sharing
process.
Encourage students to use counters if they need help solving the problems.
5. Closure (5 minutes)
Bring the class together and discuss what they learned about division.
Ask a few students to share their division problems and solutions.
Reinforce that division is a way to find out how many are in each equal group when sharing.
Assessment:
Observe students during guided and independent practice to assess their understanding of
division.
Review completed worksheets to check for accuracy and comprehension of division concepts.
Homework:
Assign a simple division worksheet for additional practice.
Encourage students to find examples of sharing at home (like fruit or toys) and write down their
division sentences (e.g., 12 divided among 3 friends).
