Lesson Plan: Long Division with Three-Digit Dividends and Single-Digit Divisors

Objective: Students will learn how to perform long division with three-digit dividends and
single-digit divisors, understand each step of the process, and apply this knowledge to solve
division problems accurately.

Grade Level: 4th - 5th Grade

Materials Needed:

 Whiteboard and markers


 Worksheets with long division problems
 Pencils and erasers for students
 Division flashcards (optional)

Duration: 1 Hour

Lesson Introduction (10 minutes):

1. Begin the lesson by reviewing the concept of division as sharing or grouping a number
into equal parts.
2. Introduce long division as a method to divide larger numbers that cannot be easily
divided mentally.
3. Explain that today's focus will be on dividing three-digit numbers by single-digit
numbers using the long division method.

Direct Instruction (20 minutes):

1. Write a sample problem on the board, e.g., 256 ÷ 2.


2. Break down the long division process into clear, step-by-step instructions:
o Divide: Start by dividing the first digit of the dividend by the divisor. If the first
digit is smaller than the divisor, include the next digit.
o Multiply: Multiply the quotient from the first step by the divisor and write the
product under the dividend.
o Subtract: Subtract the product from the previous step from the dividend.

o Bring Down: Bring down the next digit of the dividend next to the remainder.
o Repeat: Repeat the process until all digits of the dividend have been brought
down and divided.
3. Solve the sample problem on the board, narrating each step to demonstrate the process.
Highlight the importance of alignment in long division.

Guided Practice (15 minutes):

1. Distribute worksheets containing three-digit by one-digit division problems.


2. Walk around the room to monitor progress and provide assistance as needed.
3. Encourage students to work in pairs or small groups to discuss the problems and
strategies.
4. Discuss several problems as a class, inviting students to come to the board to demonstrate
their approach.

Independent Practice (10 minutes):

1. Provide additional problems for students to solve independently. These should vary in
difficulty to challenge all learners.
2. Encourage students to check their work by multiplying their quotient by the divisor to see
if they get the original dividend.

Closure (5 minutes):

1. Review the key steps of long division as a class.


2. Ask students to share what they found challenging and what strategies helped them
understand the process.
3. Highlight the importance of practice in mastering long division and encourage students to
practice at home.

Assessment:

 Observe students during guided and independent practice to assess their understanding
and ability to apply the long division method.
 Collect the completed worksheets to evaluate individual student performance.
 Consider a short quiz in the next class to reinforce and assess retention of the long
division method.

Homework:

 Assign a set of long division problems for students to practice at home. Include a mix of
three-digit dividends with single-digit divisors to reinforce the day’s lesson.
This lesson plan is designed to introduce and reinforce the concept and steps of long division
with three-digit dividends and single-digit divisors, ensuring students gain confidence and
proficiency in this essential mathematical skill
