Lesson plan

Goal

  • Students can do this: divide 4-digit ÷ 1-digit.

Teach (10 min)

  • Sometimes things don't share out evenly. What's left is the remainder.
  • 17 ÷ 5 is 3 groups of 5 with 2 left over: 3 R 2.
  • Work one example on the board while students say each step aloud, then do one together.

Practise (15 min)

  • Students work the printable sheet in pairs, then alone.
  • Or practise it as a game with no sign-up: https://peabody.kids/math/whole.divRem?lesson=4-divide&at=4

  • Three questions on a slip:
  • 1. 12 ÷ 2 = ? with how many left over?
