Lesson plan

Lesson Plan: Long Division using the Forgiving Method

Subject:

Mathematics

Topic:

Long Division using the Forgiving Method

Grade/Age Group:

Grade 5

Length of Lesson:

30 minutes

Number of Students:

20

Objectives:

• Understand the concept of long division and its steps.
• Learn the Forgiving Method as a strategy to simplify long division.
• Apply the Forgiving Method to divide multi-digit numbers by one-digit divisors.
• Improve accuracy and confidence in performing long division.

Materials Needed:

• Whiteboard and markers
• Long division worksheets (with examples and blank spaces for practice)
• Pencils and erasers
• Calculator (for verification, if needed)
• Short video on long division (optional)

National Curriculum Alignment:

This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, specifically:

• Operations and Algebraic Thinking (5.NBT.B.6): "Divide up to four-digit dividends by one-digit divisors."

Lesson Structure:

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 min	Briefly introduce the topic and its importance. Discuss the long division process and the Forgiving Method.
2	Explanation of Forgiving Method	10 min	Explain the steps of the Forgiving Method. Use a visual aid on the whiteboard to demonstrate the process with an example.
3	Guided Practice	10 min	Solve an example problem together using the Forgiving Method. Encourage student participation and address questions.
4	Independent Practice	5 min	Distribute worksheets with practice problems. Allow students to work independently while providing support as necessary.
5	Review and Wrap-Up	5 min	Recap the key points of the lesson. Answer any remaining questions and provide guidance on the homework assignment.

Homework:

Assign a worksheet with a variety of long division problems using the Forgiving Method. Students should complete the worksheet at home. Collect and review the homework to provide feedback without requiring students to present it in front of the class.

Assessment:

• Monitor student understanding during guided practice through observation and questioning.
• Review completed homework to assess students' grasp of the long division concepts and the application of the Forgiving Method.

Additional Notes:

• Adjust the pace of the lesson as needed, based on student understanding.
• Provide extra resources or support for students who may struggle with the concepts.
