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.


Division as making groups
Free lesson plan from HomeschoolMath.net

There are 12 daisies.  Make groups of 3.

How many groups do you get?
How many 3's in 12?

Example problems

1. Divide into groups.

There are __ carrots.
Make groups of 5.


How many groups?
How many 5's in ___?

There are __ apples.
Make groups of 3.


How many groups?
How many 3's in ___?

There are __ fish.
Make groups of 2.
 


How many groups?
How many 2's in ___?

There are __ camels.
Make groups of 4.
 

   
   
   
       

How many groups?
How many 4's in ___?






DIVIDE... 12 dogs into groups of  four
How many groups do you get?  
How many 4's in 12?

12 ÷ 4 = 3

"Twelve divided by four is three."




DIVIDE... 15 elephants into groups of  three.
How many groups do  you get?
How may 3's in 15?

15 ÷ 3 = 5

"Fifteen divided by three is five."

The symbol  ÷  indicates division.          18 ÷ 6 = ?

Think:  If you DIVIDE 18 into groups of six, how many groups are there?
How many groups of six are there in 18?  How many sixes are there in 18?

Since 6 + 6 + 6 = 18, there are THREE sixes in 18:      18 ÷ 6 = 3

2.  Write a division sentence to fit the pictures in the exercise 1. Use the symbol  ÷. 

3.  Make a division sentence.

Divide 10 rams 
into groups of two.
How many groups? 

 

__ ÷ __ = __

Divide __ apples 
into groups of six.
How many groups?

 
   

__ ÷ __ = __

  Divide __ books
into groups of three


 

__ ÷ __ = __

Divide __ crosses
into groups of three.



__ ÷ __ = __



 
4.  Now draw sticks (or balls).  Divide them into groups to fit the division sentence.

18 ÷ 3 = __

  

24 ÷ 2 = __

21 ÷ 3 = __

  

25 ÷ 5 = __



5. Make groups by circling dots and write a division sentence.

Make groups of 4

  

__ ÷ 4 = __

Make groups of 4

  

__ ÷ 4 = __

Make groups of 3

 

__ ÷ 3 = __

Make groups of 5

 

__ ÷ 5 = __

Make groups of 7

   

__ ÷ 7 = __

Make groups of 10

  

__ ÷ 10 = __

  
6. To solve the division problems, you can draw in your mind sticks, and make groups.  OR, you can draw a picture in your note book.  Can you find a pattern?

4 ÷ 2 = __

6 ÷ 2 = __

8 ÷ 2 = __

10 ÷ 2 = __

12 ÷ 2 = __

14 ÷ 2 = __

16 ÷ 2 = __
