The ideas in this multiplication lesson are taken from Multiplication Division 2 ebook. Only a few examples of each problem type are shown; you should make more problems of each kind for the student.


Divisibility
Free lesson plan from HomeschoolMath.net

Remember?   A number is divisible by another number if when you do the division, it is exact.  In other words, there is no remainder.  You can use long division to check if there is a remainder or not.  For example,
 
2 8
 

4
1 6

6
0
2 6
 
6
1 8
8
0
1 6
 
4
2 7
4
3
56 ÷ 2 = 28.
So 56 is divisible by 2.
78 ÷ 3 = 26.
So 78 is divisible by 3.
  67 ÷ 4 = 16, R 3.
So 67 is not divisible by 4.

 
Practice

1.  Answer the questions.  Justify your answer in each case.

Is 89 divisible by 9?

No, because 90 is divisible by 9, and so 89 cannot be since only every ninth number is divisible by 9.

 

Is 100 divisible by 4?

Yes, because
100 ÷ 4 = ___
(exact division)

 

Is 101 divisible by 4?

 

 



Is 603 divisible by 4? Is 906 divisible by 7?

No, because 
906 ÷ 7 = ___ R__ 
(not exact division)

1
0

 

 

Is 666 divisible by 3?


2.  Make a list of numbers that are between 20 and 50 that are divisible by 2.  Use the multiplication table of 2 as a starting point.

 

3.  Study which of these numbers are divisible by 2.  Use your notebook for any long divisions you want to make.

330   334   338   342  

4.  Based on your findings in the previous exercise, make a guess of the rule for divisibility by 2.  Then indicate which of the following numbers are divisible by 2.  Check with your teacher.

Numbers that are divisible by 2 are called EVEN NUMBERS.  
They end in (the last digit is) either __, __, __, ___, or __.

5.  Study which of these numbers are divisible by 5.  Use your notebook for any long divisions you want to make.

number divisible
by 5
 (yes/no)
number divisible
by 5
(yes/no)
number divisible
by 5
(yes/no)
number divisible
by 5
(yes/no)
330   334   338   342  

 

Numbers that are divisible by 5 end in (the last digit is) either __ or __.

Numbers that are divisible by 10 end in (the last digit is) __.

If a number is divisible by 10, it ends in zero, so it is ALSO divisible by 2 and 5.

  
6.  Indicate if the following numbers are divisible by 2, 5, or 10.

  divisible   divisible   divisible
number by 2 by 5 by 10 number by 2 by 5 by 10 number by 2 by 5 by 10

P.S. ....

 

Check out these short video clips from my favorite band - Rockabilly.US. They play oldies, Elvis, country, and top hits of the 50s and 60s. It's a show with large band, costumes, choreography, little skits, "Kid Kritters", 6 dancing/singing girls, junior dancer troupe, etc.

"Be My Baby"
originally by the Ronettes

Impossible Dream (Elvis song)
Most importantly, the band wants to use the uplifting and energetic music to bring some fun, happiness and encouragement into people's lives. They're doing it selflessly to help others, and don't get paid for any of it themselves. And I admire that!
