Division of 3 Digits
Students aged 8-11 (Year 4 to Year 6)
Mathematics
30 minutes
20 students
This lesson aligns with the National Curriculum for Mathematics, focusing on division strategies and mathematical reasoning.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 minutes | Introduce the concept of division and its importance. Engage students with questions about division. |
| 2 | Demonstration | 10 minutes | Demonstrate how to divide three-digit numbers using the whiteboard. Provide step-by-step examples. |
| 3 | Printable Cards Activity | 5 minutes | Hand out printable cards that contain division problems. Guide students to fill in their answers. |
| 4 | Supervised Practice | 5 minutes | Allow students time to work on division problems independently or in pairs. Circulate the room to assist where needed. |
| 5 | Random Checking | 3 minutes | Collect or randomly check the cards filled out by students to assess their understanding. |
| 6 | Wrap-up and Homework | 2 minutes | Review key concepts learned in the lesson. Assign homework that reinforces division concepts without requiring presentation. |
Students will complete a worksheet involving additional three-digit division problems that will be checked the following lesson.
The teacher will observe students during independent practice and during the random checking of the printable cards to gauge understanding and clarify misconceptions.
"Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to dive into the world of division, specifically focusing on dividing three-digit numbers. Division is an essential skill that we use in our daily lives, such as when sharing equally or solving problems. Can anyone give me an example of when you might use division in real life?"
(Pause for student responses, encouraging a few examples.)
"Great examples! Now let's get ready to explore how we can divide three-digit numbers together!"
"Alright, let’s begin our demonstration! I’m going to solve a few division problems on the whiteboard for you to see.
First, let’s take the number 456. We will divide it by 4. Watch carefully:
So, 456 divided by 4 equals 114.
Let’s do one more example together. Who can give me another three-digit number to divide?"
(Encourage a volunteer to provide a number, and repeat the process together.)
"Now that we have a good understanding of the process, it's time for you to practice! I will hand out these printable cards, each containing a division problem for you to solve.
Once you receive your card, take a look at the division problem, and try to solve it on your own. You have about five minutes to work on this.
If you need help, feel free to ask your partner or me! Let’s begin!"
(Hand out the cards and set the timer for 5 minutes.)
"Now that you’ve worked on your cards, let’s move on to some supervised practice. I’d like you to work on your division problems, either independently or in pairs.
While you work, I’ll be walking around to check your understanding and to provide help if needed. Remember, don’t hesitate to ask questions!
You have five minutes to complete these problems. Ready? Go!"
(Walk around the classroom, assisting students and encouraging discussions.)
"Time is up! I’d like everyone to pass their printable cards to the front. I will randomly check some of your answers to see how you did.
This will help us understand what we've grasped well and where we might need some more practice.
If I call your name, please read out your answer and let’s see if it matches!"
(Check answers and provide feedback to students on their performance.)
"Fantastic work today, everyone! We have learned a lot about dividing three-digit numbers. To ensure you keep practicing, I have a homework sheet for you to complete. This will contain additional division problems similar to what we practiced in class.
Please make sure to complete it by our next lesson, and bring it back so I can check your understanding!
Before we finish, does anyone have any quick questions about what we learned today?"
(Encourage any final queries.)
"Excellent! Well done today. Remember, practice makes perfect. Have a great day, and I'll see you all next lesson!"
