Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 minutes)

• Warm-Up Activity: Ask students to share their prior knowledge about division. Write their responses on the board.
• Objective Explanation: Share the focus of today’s lesson, emphasizing the significance of 3-digit by 2-digit division in real-life situations, such as budgeting or sharing items.

Instruction (15 minutes)

1. Review Long Division Steps (5 minutes):

   • Explain the long division process using an example (e.g., 456 ÷ 12).
   • Break down the steps:
     • Divide
     • Multiply
     • Subtract
     • Bring down
     • Repeat
   • Emphasize the importance of placing numbers correctly.

2. Model an Example (5 minutes):

   • Choose another example (e.g., 789 ÷ 23).
   • Step through the division together as a class.
   • Encourage student participation by asking them to suggest each step of the process.

3. Guided Practice (5 minutes):

   • Distribute a sample problem to the class (e.g., 654 ÷ 18).
   • Work through the problem on the board, calling on students to assist with each step.
   • Address any questions or confusions during this process.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

• Hand out division practice worksheets that include a variety of 3-digit by 2-digit division problems.
• Encourage students to work independently, reminding them to show their work for each problem.

Closing and Review (5 minutes)

• Review key concepts by asking students to share what they learned.
• Select a few problems from the worksheet and solve them collectively on the board.
• Discuss the importance of division in everyday contexts, referencing the real-life scenario cards.

Assessment

• Monitor student progress during independent practice and offer feedback.
• Collect worksheets for further evaluation of students’ understanding.
• Optional: A quick exit ticket asking students to explain a step in the long division process.

Extensions

• For students who finish early, provide additional challenging problems or word problems that require using division to find solutions.

Modifications

• Provide additional scaffolding for students who struggle, such as more detailed examples or one-on-one support.
• Allow advanced students to practice with larger numbers or explore related concepts such as decimals.
