Lesson Plan

MAED 3224
Subject: 3rd + math Central Focus:
Division by
partitioning equal
groups
Common Core Objective: 3.OA.2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole Date taught: 11/2/17
numbers, e.g., interpret 56 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56
objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56
objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each.

3.OA.6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem.


Daily Lesson Objective:
Performance- Students will be able to recognize division by partitioning equal groups.
Conditions- Students will be working independently.
Criteria- 80% on exit ticket, 8 out of 10 points on exit ticket will show mastery.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills needed: multiplication strategies (groups of, arrays), fact families,
base 10

Activity Description of Activities and Setting Time


1. Engage This week you all have been continuing your work and 5
review of multiplication strategies. Well just as with minutes
multiplication we also have strategies for solving division
that you started discussing yesterday when talking about
fact families. Today we will continue that work. I would
like you to watch this video and while watching we are
going to think about how division works with this story.
We also have The Doorbell Rang Work Table to help us
keep track of the cookies throughout the video.
(Have students write name and explain directions before
starting the video; during the video have students only fill
in the column; Number of cookies for each)
Questions:
What are some strategies you learned about multiplication?
What strategies could we use for division?
2. Explore After watching the video, we all have come to understand 15
(including solutions that division is partitioning items or objects into equal minutes
of major tasks) groups. Now that you know how many cookies each
person gets, lets write a division problem, partitioning
into equal groups to solve.
Model division into equal parts by complete the first
problem on the The doorbell rang work table sheet.
Explain how many cookies and how those cookies had to
be equally divided into 2 equal groups.
Use division vocabulary --1st number-Dividend, 2nd
number Divisor, answer-quotient
***after modeling the first problem, have students attempt the rest
before coming back together.
Now let's review the sheet and write each division
problem on the whiteboard
Have one student come up to the white board and solve the
problem while explaining aloud how the student is solving
the problem.
Afterwards, have students get with a partner to complete
The Doorbell Rang for practice.
As the students are working in pairs I will walk around to
ensure that the concept is being practiced correctly.

Questions:
How many objects are in each group so that the groups
are equal? (for partition models)
How many equal groups can you make? (for
measurement-repeated subtraction models)
3. Explain Bring students back together and review the problems on the 5
worksheet; making sure that students are explaining the problem minutes
and partitioning into equal groups to solve. Have students check
their answers as the problems are gone over.
Questions:
What strategy did you choose to use, and why?
4. Elaborate/Extend High: Students will be given division word problems. Students
will use a whiteboard and marker to place items into equal parts
and solve the division problem with larger numbers.
Example: Sally divided her 48 spools of thread evenly into 6
boxes. How many spools of thread did she put in each box?
Low: Students will be given smaller number word problems.
Students will use manipulatives to place items into equal groups
and solve division problems.
Example: Ivan scooped 16 scoops of ice cream evenly onto 8
cones. How many scoops of ice cream are on each cone?
5. Evaluate Exit ticket: Chris has 28 cactus plants. He keeps his cactus plants 5
(assessment methods) in even rows of 7. How many cactus plants are in each row? minutes
10 points total:
3 points for conceptual understanding
3 points for problem solving
4 points for procedural fluency
8/10; earn 80% on exit ticket to achieve mastery.
Materials/Technology:
The Doorbell Rang read aloud
Copies of The Doorbell Rang Work Table
Copies of The Doorbell Rang
Whiteboards, markers, SMART board, Sticky notes or index card (for exit ticket)
