The ideas in this division lesson are taken from Division 1 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

If there is no remainder, we say division is exact. For example,

18 ÷ 9 = 2, remainder is 0.

We also say that
18 is divisible by 9.

33 ÷ 11 = 3, R 0.

33 is divisible by 11.

If there is a remainder, we say division is not exact. For example,

15 ÷ 4 = 3, remainder 3.

We also say that
15 is NOT divisible by 4.

17 ÷ 7 = 2, R 3.

17 is not divisible by 7.

If a number is divisible by another number, we can make a multiplication sentence from the division sentence:

18 ÷ 9 = 2   and   2 × 9 = 18. 

If division is not exact (there is a remainder), then we cannot make
a multiplication sentence.

19 ÷ 9 = 2, R 1   but    2 × 9 19. 


Example problems

1.  Follow the example and find if the following numbers are divisible by given numbers.

Is 15 divisible by 5?

Yes, because  15 ÷ 5 = 3, R 0.

Is 22 divisible by 2?

Yes/no, because 

Is 17 divisible by 5?

No, because there is a remainder: 
17 ÷ 5 = 3, R 2 

Is 14 divisible by 3?

Yes/no, because

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!
