Objectives for this lesson:
1.
Given numerical and word problems, students will solve division problems involving two-, three-, or four-digit numbers divided by a two-digit number with at least 80% accuracy.
2.
Using place-value charts, long-division format, or area models, students will correctly apply the written division algorithm to divide two-, three-, or four-digit numbers by a two-digit number in 4 out of 5 problems.
3.
During guided practice and independent problem-solving activities, students will show confidence and persistence when solving division problems involving two-, three-, or four-digit numbers by a two-digit number by attempting all assigned problems and participating actively in discussions.
Important terms to remember
Dividend
The number being divided.
The dividend is the big number you start with and want to split or share.
👉 Example:
In 24 ÷ 6, 24 is the dividend.
🧠 Think: “What am I sharing?”
Divisor
The number that tells how many groups or how many in each group.
The divisor tells you how many groups you are making or how many go in each group.
👉 Example:
In 24 ÷ 6, 6 is the divisor.
🧠 Think: “How am I sharing it?”
Share Equally
To divide so that everyone gets the same amount.
Share equally means everyone gets the same number—no one gets more or less.
👉 Example:
If 12 sweets are shared equally among 4 children, each child gets 3.
🧠 Think: “Fair sharing.”
Half
To divide so that everyone gets the same amount.
Share equally means everyone gets the same number—no one gets more or less.
👉 Example:
If 12 sweets are shared equally among 4 children, each child gets 3.
🧠 Think: “Fair sharing.”
Third
Sharing a whole into three equal parts.
A third means something is split into three equal parts, and you take one part.
👉 Example:
⅓ of 12 is 4.
🧠 Think: “Split in three.”
