Division Lesson Plans

1. Checking Division- Students learn that multiplication is the inverse operation of division.
2. Collision Course- In this lesson, students measure the speed of moving marbles and use the results to calculate velocity and momentum. They then use their understanding of velocity, momentum and mass to analyze events preceding the recent Japanese train crash.
3. Connecting Division And Multiplication- Understand the relation between division and multiplication. Verbally state what an makes up an inverse operation and a fact famil. Identify an example of a fact family.
4. The Doorbell Rang- Dividing by making equal shares.
5. Divisions of Generosity- This lesson uses THE DOORBELL RANG, by Pat Hutchins to teach the concepts of generosity and fairness. Students apply the concept of generosity and fairness to a lesson on division.
6. Double This- Does doubled mean to multiply? Does quotient mean subtraction or division? This activity will provide students practice in changing verbal expression to algebraic equations.
7. Dynamic Divisibility- Students learn the rules of divisibility for the numbers 2,3,5,6,9 and 10. Students use these rules to check large numbers for their divisibility.

1. Fact Family Connection- Students explore the relationship of multiplication and division using arrays.
2. Family at Home- Students write a family of multiplication and division facts on a piece of paper cut in the shape of a house.
3. Far Out Fact Families- The student explores related multiplication and division facts.
4. Gearing Up- In mathematics, a ratio is a comparison of two numbers by division. A gear ratio can be expressed as a ratio to solve real-world problems.
5. Learning to Use Division (Division Unit Rationale)- Division is a profound topic that is of great importance in a student’s learning career. To some, it is one that is learned with great ease and without obstacles to surpass along the way, while for others it is the topic that makes them cringe and never want to look at a single math problem ever again.
6. Long division and why it works- The ideas in this division lesson are taken from Multiplication Division 2 ebook.
7. Making Cents of Division- Students will use pennies as manipulatives to solve simple division problems. They will create division number sentences to correspond with each exercise.
8. Multiplication and Division of Integers- This lesson makes use of an analogy which the author has called, "The Love-Hate Analogy." Students can use this strategy when they are multiplying and dividing positive and negative numbers (integers).
9. Multiplication & Division Word Problems Made Easy- This lesson helps students determine when to multiply or divide when solving real-world problems. The student will explore why they multiply or divide.
10. My Dog, Division- Students learn about division by reading this poem.
11. On Target- Students recall division facts.
12. One-digit Division- After a teacher-directed math lesson, Mrs. Cannon’s third-grade math class will represent division with physical materials, use division symbols, and divide using one-digit divisors.
13. Relating Division And Subtraction Lesson Plan- Upon completion of this lesson, students will be able to relate the process of division to subtracting equal groups
14. Roll a Fact- Students will write multiplication and division fact families for two given numbers.
15. Shopping for Skills- The students will solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of whole numbers and decimals using a grocery flyer from the newspaper. The students will select the appropriate operation to solve specific problems.
16. Stories That Really Add Up- In this lesson, students work in groups to develop math lessons for younger students that each stems from a popular children's story.
17. Teaching Long Division with an Acronym- You start by explaining what an acronym is. It is a short cut using letters to represent a word in a phrase. Allow students to come up to board and share their versions of an acronym.
18. Using Your Melon for Math- In this lesson, students use recipes to practice their fraction multiplication and division skills by calculating the amounts of ingredients needed to make specific recipes, given varied numbers for the 'yield' quantity.
19. What to Do with Leftovers- Students use unifix cubes to explore division with remainders to solve real world story problems.
20. Which Way Am I Walking?- Students learn the concept of inverses through a real-world example, then relate it specifically to multiplication and division.
21. Yummy Division- Students divide M&M’s into groups and write division sentences to show what they have done.
