Division Detectives Math Unit The students will discover division is another way to subtract or separate items from a larger group into smaller groups. The teacher will demonstrate how to use division as repeated subtraction with word problems. The teacher will introduce key vocabulary, provide definitions, and examples. The teacher will define division as repeated subtraction, a way to sort one group into to several groups at one time. The students will paraphrase the definitions, model the meanings of vocabulary, and record them in their math journals. Resources and Materials

Division Detectives Math Unit 4. Provide information with sample problem. 5. Solicit feedback to assess comprehension. Allow student to student and teacher to student discourse. Provide clarification. 6. Guided practice. Complete up to two problems as a class. Introduce the problem one at a time. Allow students to work in groups to model their solutions. Reflect on each groups response with a class discussion. Provide clarification. 7. Re-teaching provide- direct instruction to students in small groups as other students complete graphic organizers, math journals, and individual work. 8. Close lesson with summary and KWL chart Lesson Delivery and Guided Practice This is the first lesson in a unit on conceptual division. Students will learn to detect division concepts in stories and everyday life. In the previous unit, students discovered the relationship between addition and multiplication and multiplication facts. Students will use similar materials from the multiplication lessons to help introduce the connection between division and multiplication in a later lesson. Classroom Management- Provide pre-sorted manipulatives for each group. Do not pass them out until you are ready to begin the hands-on activity. Students should be familiar with the manipulatives. However, model the appropriate use before students proceed. Instructional Strategy- Direct Reading Thinking Activity and group work. Review the KWL chart and vocabulary introduced at the beginning of the unit in topic opener mini-lesson.
Division Detectives Math Unit Anticipatory Set- Today will learn a faster way to use subtraction to sort items. This is called division. Has anyone seen or used division? Ask students to share what they know and record it on the whiteboard for everyone to see. Check that each student has his or her math journal, copy of the KWL chart, and pencil. Allow students to sit where they are comfortable but close enough to see the pictures. Tell students you will read aloud the book, One Hundred Hungry Ants by Elinor J. Pinczes. Ask the students, What do you think this story is about? How can we learn division from these hungry ants? Show students the pictures as you read the story. Pause and ask students to think about what they think will happen next each time the littlest ant says, Stop! Lesson- After reading the story, make sure the website for the online manipulatives is open to the Rectangle Division manipulative. Ask students, What did you notice about this story? Did you see any patterns? What patterns did you see? Write the patterns on the board. Show the pictures and pass the book around the class. Ask students to read the passages to find the division problems. For example, the first time the littlest ant tells them to split up he states, Two lines of fifty (Pinczes, 1993, p. 6). Ask students, What is two lines of 50? Can you model it? Can you show me another way? Use the online manipulative to show your own model on the board or use the one below. Write the subtraction algorithm and division algorithm side by side. Ask the students to volunteer to label the algorithms. Allow volunteers to use the online manipulative to display their models to the class. One hundred ants separated into two lines of 50. ************************************************** ************************************************** 100-50=50 and 1002=50 another way to look at this is, two $50 dollar bills equals $100.
Division Detectives Math Unit Ask students to model with the base-10 blocks. Tell them to show it another way with manipulatives or drawings. Then record the information from the board into their journals. Walk around the room and assess the students models. Solicit feedback to clarify any discrepancies. Ask students to share and explain their models to the class. Divide students into groups of four. Ask the students, if the class divides into equal groups of four, how many groups will there be? Repeat with another example from the story until students seem comfortable with the concept. Allow other students to develop their own division problems with items in the room such as desks, pencils, crayons, etc. Remember to tell students to show their answer in two ways with models before writing the algorithm. Ask volunteers to show and explain how they divided. Write the algorithms and models for the different ways students used division. Make sure students write down their own thoughts and draw models to match the algorithms. Walk around to assess individual progress and clarify any discrepancies. Closure Summarize the main points of the lesson. Review the KWL chart. Make sure students fill in these questions. What is division? How did the ants use division? How can we use division in everyday life? What else did you learn about division? Independent Practice We have 25 students in our class and 28 desks how many ways can I group the students and desks. Each student must be in a group. Remind the students to record two models to match each algorithm they create. This assignment will serve as practice as well as a formative assessment.

Division Detectives Math Unit Differentiated Instruction As students work in groups, pull out four to five students and assess their comprehension and skills with two word problems. Use the information to develop a mini-lesson for re-teaching with directing instruction. For special need students use smaller dividends. For ELL students provide a graphic organizer with labeled pictures to learn vocabulary. For gifted students use larger dividends and more complex story problems. Notice each student will use manipulatives and graphic organizers. However, the expectations for how they use them will vary. Students will also take turns completing math practice online. Assessment Student independent work will serve as the assessment for this lesson. A lesson review test will be given one to two days later. This will provide students with more time to connect with the concepts.

Close lesson with summary and KWL chart Lesson Delivery and Guided Practice
Division Detectives Math Unit This is the second lesson in a unit on conceptual division. In this lesson, students will explore division as sharing and sorting. They will review the concept of repeated subtraction from the first lesson. The teacher will introduce division as sharing and sorting. The students will note key questions and discoveries on the KWL chart. Instructional Strategy- Direct/Explicit group and individual work. Review- Review the previous lesson. Reference the students work from the previous day. Clarify any discrepancies found without letting the class know who made the error. Tell students to ask questions and provide solutions to fix errors. Tell the students to use their journals to take notes. Anticipatory Set- Yesterday we read One Hundred Hungry Ants by Elinor J. Pinczes and learned that division is repeated subtraction. The ants in the story separated into smaller and smaller groups. Division can also be used for sharing or grouping things. Have you ever shared something with a friend, brother, or sister? Today we will practice dividing by 2 and 5. We are going to discover how to share things by grouping them by 2 and 5. When we divide something evenly by 2 the number in the ones column of the quotient will be 2,4,6,8, or 0. When we divide evenly by 5 the number in the ones column of the quotient will be 0 or 5. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Write students remarks and questions on the board. Tell students to note their questions and discoveries on their KWL chart in their journals. Tell students that today they will use rocks as counters instead of counting chips. Remind the students that although they are rocks they are tools for their investigation and learning. The rocks should be handled with care. Pass out a set of rocks to every fifth student. Tell the students they will have 20 seconds to look at the five rocks slate, marble, chalk, granite, and pumice
20
Division Detectives Math Unit before passing them on to the next student. Ask students to think about words to describe the rocks. When everyone has finished looking at the rocks, write the words on the board under the name of each rock. Tell the students you will discuss the words later in Science. Lesson- Tell the students, We have five bags of rocks. Each bag has a different kind of rock. We have 30 students. How can we share the rocks equally? Each large bag will have two smaller bags of rocks. Once the students have divided into six groups of five, tell the students they need to divide each group once more by two because there are two small bags of rocks in each large bag. Once the students have divided into 10 groups of three tell them they will each take a turn using the rocks to solve division problems. Ask students, Did anyone notice that we just used division? Tell the students they should try to solve the problem on their own first before asking others in their group for help. Tell the students to think about the textures of the rocks they are using. They may add words to the board to describe the rocks. There will be a Science lesson later about rocks. Note: If you do not have 30 students find another way to divide the students. For example if you have 28 students, you may choose to have one group of three and five groups of five. Acknowledge the different quantities of the groups but do not go in-depth about remainders. Remainders will be in a later lesson. Classroom Management: Tell the students that each group will have a problem solver, a writer, and a problem checker. Each member should agree before the writer records the final answer. Pass out presorted materials to the class. Each group will receive a basket with a bag of rocks, colored pencils, multiplication chart, and worksheet.
21
Division Detectives Math Unit Guided Practice- Tell students you will complete the first set of questions together. Question one, We had five bags of rocks and 30 students. How did we divide or share the rocks equally? Write the number sentence on the board. Thirty students divided by five bags equals. 30 5 =. Solicit answers from the class. Show the problem as repeated subtraction. Show the problem rows as in the Rectangle Division (Utah State University, 2011) activity.Ask a volunteer to draw a model on the board. Question two, We opened the five bags of rocks. There were two smaller bags inside. How did we divide or share the rocks equally? Solicit answers from students. Ask a volunteer to draw a model on the board. Question three, We had five groups of six students and each group was divided by two. How many groups of students do we have all together? This may be tricky for some students to visualize. Ask a volunteer to help you draw a model. We started with 30 students and divided by five. 30 5=6. Draw 30 dots in an array of 5 by 6. Circle six dots in a row to show five groups of six. Then we divided each group of six by two 6 3=3. Get a different color dry erase marker. Circle two groups of three dots in each group of six. Ask the students to count how many groups of three there are in all. Tell students to complete the remaining with their group. Float around the room to observe student progress and provide support. Once groups have completed the worksheet, solicit feedback and clarify. Review each question on the worksheet. Ask each group what answer they came up with for each problem. Ask one student from each group to explain how they solved one of the problems. Closure Review group work and clarify any discrepancies. Make a copy for each group member to keep in his or her journal. Summarize the main points of the lesson. Review the KWL chart. Make sure students fill in these questions. What is division? How did Mike use division? How
22
Division Detectives Math Unit can we use division in everyday life? What else did you learn about division? Hand out the independent Independent Practice- Students will complete a worksheet that matches their level of math literacy. Whatever is not completed in class will be homework. Students will also practice division facts for 10 minutes at a time on the computer (http://www.ixl.com/math/grade3/division-facts-to-5) or (http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/frames_asid_193_g_2_t_1.html?from=grade_g_2.html). Allow advanced students to practice with word problems to provide more challenge (http://www.ixl.com/math/grade-3/division-word-problems-facts-to-10). Differentiated Instruction- As students work in groups, pull out four to five students and assess their comprehension and skills with two word problems. Use the information to develop a mini-lesson for re-teaching with directing instruction. For special need students, use smaller numbers. For ELL students provide a graphic organizer with labeled pictures to learn vocabulary. For gifted students use larger dividends and more complex story problems. Notice each student will use manipulatives and graphic organizers. However, the expectations for how they use them will vary. Students will also take turns completing math practice online. Students with special needs may work in pairs with counters to complete worksheet. Students working below level will receive re-teaching worksheet. For students needing more direct instruction meet in a small group. Read and discuss division and sharing in the stories Sharing and Dividing by Richard Leffingwell and Divide It Up! by Tonya Leslie. ELL students- will use their math journals and vocabulary sheet from the previous lesson. The key vocabulary will be

Students will discover not all division problems result in equal groupings. The students will discover real-life situations where division results in unequal groupings or remainders. Classroom Management- Students should be seated in pairs or small groups of 3 -4 students. Make sure all students have their math journals and pencils ready before the lesson. Make sure all materials for group work is presorted. Select a volunteer to pass out the materials (unifix cubes and chip counters) to each group just before the activity. Instructional Strategy- Direct instruction, group, and independent practice. Anticipatory Set- Display the Rectangle Division (Utah State University, 2010) activity on the whiteboard. Adjust the dividend and divisor to show 7 = 23 +1. Tell the students they will learn about remainders. Ask the class, Do you know what a remainder is? What is the remainder in this problem? Paraphrase student responses and provide clarification. Write the algorithm 7 = 2 3 +1 and 73= 2 R 1 on the board. Circle or highlight the remainder in both problems. Ask
38
Division Detectives Math Unit the class, Does anyone know why I write it this way? The R stands for remainder. The remainder is the amount left over when the dividend is not divided into equal parts by the divisor. Ask students to think about situations when something was left over or extra. We are going to work on some word problems together to discover some situations where remainders might turn up. Then we will share our own definitions of remainders. Lesson Display the following word problem on the board. Clara is having a birthday party. Her mom made seven special cookies for her guests. Clara, Cher, and Luke shared the seven cookies. Each friend had the same number of cookies Pass out the manipulatives. Tell students to work in their groups to find the quotient and remainder.

Close lesson with summary and KWL chart Lesson Delivery and Guided Practice This is the fourth lesson in a unit on conceptual division. Students will learn to detect division concepts in the story and relate them to everyday life. This lesson explores division as an inverse operation of multiplication. Some real-life scenarios related to this concept are arranging items as in the story, borrowing and returning items as in sharing, or even separating a group into smaller groups and recombining into the original group as a familys daily schedule. Classroom Management- Students should be seated in groups of four. Ask a volunteer to pass out presorted materials just before the activity. Instructional Strategy- Direct Reading Thinking Activity and group work. Review the KWL chart and vocabulary introduced in previous lessons. Anticipatory Set- Today we will explore the relationship between division and multiplication. Who knows the meaning of the word relationship? In earlier lessons, we learned that multiplication is a faster way to add or count and sometimes this is called repeated addition. We learned that division is a faster way to subtract and called repeated subtraction. We know that multiplication combines groups of things just as addition combines groups of things. We also
48
Division Detectives Math Unit know that division separates a group into smaller groups just as subtraction separates a group into smaller groups. Do you recall the relationship between addition and subtraction? Let me show you an example. If I have five markers and I borrow two from Jackson (any student). How many markers will I have all together? 5+2=7 When I am finished using the markers, I will give back the markers I borrowed. How many markers will I have? 7-2=5 Make sure to write the algorithms on the board as use say the word problems. Can someone explain the relationship between 5+2= 7 and 7-2= 5? Draw the algorithms in a ring. (See addition subtraction ring below) Clarify the students responses. Subtraction can be used to reverse or undo addition. Can addition be used to undo subtraction? Why? Provide an example. Allow students to discuss their answer with their group before sharing it with the class. Clarify students responses. If I have seven colored pencils and Jackson borrows two How many colored pencils will I have? 7-2=5 When Jackson is finished with the colored pencils he gives them back to me. How many colored pencils will I have all together? 5 +2=7 Act out the scenario for students during or after the explanation. Solicit feedback. Clarify any discrepancies. Make sure students write the example in their journals. Now let us look at the relationship between multiplication and division. Write this story problem on the board. Sam and Mike want to play cars but Mike forgot to bring his cars to Sams house. They share six of Sams cars equally. Before Mike goes home, he gives back the borrowed cars. Tell students to show the division and multiplication in this problem. 62=3 and 3 x 2= 6. Draw the algorithms in a ring. (See multiplication division ring below) Clarify any discrepancies. Draw models to show the groupings. Allow students to take turns practicing the concept in their groups. Walk around and observe student progress. Ask questions to assess understanding and clarify any discrepancies.

Tell the students you will read aloud the book, Spaghetti and Meatballs for All! By Marilyn Burns. Show students the pictures. Ask students, What do you think this story is about? In this story, a family uses math during a dinner party to make sure everyone has a seat and plenty of food to eat. Tell the students to think about what will happen each time a new set of guests arrive. Ask students, What do you think Mrs. Comfort is thinking now? Why were there fewer places to sit when the tables were pushed together? How else could Mrs. Comfort arrange the tables to make enough room for 32 people? Write all of the students comments and questions on the board for a follow up discussion. Students will record the questions and comments in their journals and KWL charts. If you have not already defined inverse operation and relationship, do so now. Allow students to record the definitions in their own words. Lesson- After reading the story ask students, What did you notice about this story? How did the guests use math? Ask students to read passages from the story and write algorithms and models to help explain. Show the following problem on the board. Jacksons 16 cousins came to visit. Half of them came in a blue van. The other half came in a red van. How many cousins were in each van? 162=8 Display the webpage http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/frames_asid_193_g_2_t_1.html?from=grade_g_2.html on the
Division Detectives Math Unit whiteboard. Adjust the dividend to 16. Adjust the toggle on the left to show a divisor of two and quotient of eight. Indicate the multiplication algorithm shown next to the division rectangle 16 = 2 x 8. Write the algorithm below the division algorithm so that the digits and symbols are aligned. Ask the students to work in their groups to write the second part of the story to match the multiplication algorithm. Ask each group to share their ending. Repeat with two more word problems and algorithms one at a time. Walk around the room to observe students. Provide a fourth set of algorithms for students to complete individually. Allow students to draw pictures and models to show their work. Walk around the room and observe students. Pull out individuals for small group assessment. Clarify any discrepancies. Write another set of problems on the board. 10 2= __ and 2 __ =10. Ask students, What is the missing number? Use what you know about the relationship between multiplication and division to discover the answer. Closure Summarize the main points of the lesson. Review the KWL chart. Make sure students fill in essential questions from the discussion. What is the relationship between multiplication and division? How do we use multiplication and division as inverse operations in everyday life? Remind students to practice their fact families to five every night. Tell students to practice writing multiplication and division algorithms for the same fact family. Independent Practice Students will complete the Divide and Multiply Ring sheet in pairs or individually depending on their strengths. Students that finish early will work on practice activities in pairs or individually. Students may practice trading items and writing down the algorithms. Individuals
51
Division Detectives Math Unit may practice with fact family triangles, concrete manipulatives, online manipulatives, or online word problems. Differentiated Instruction As students work in groups, pull out four to five students and assess their comprehension and skills with two word problems. Use the information to develop a mini-lesson for re-teaching with directing instruction. For special need students, use smaller numbers. For ELL students provide a graphic organizer with labeled pictures to learn vocabulary. For gifted students use larger dividends and more complex story problems. Notice each student will use manipulatives and graphic organizers. However, the expectations for how they use them will vary. Students will also take turns completing math practice online. All students will use the same practice worksheet. Some will work in pairs, as individuals, or in a small group with the teacher. Assessment The worksheet and teacher observation will serve as assessments. The teacher will review concepts during the next lesson. KWL Chart

Instructional Sequence 1. Introduce the topic.
Division Detectives Math Unit 2. Review essential questions and discoveries from previous lessons-KWL chart 3. State objectives and solicit feedback to assess comprehension. Provide clarification. 4. Provide information with sample problem. 5. Solicit feedback to assess comprehension. Allow student to student and teacher to student discourse. Provide clarification. 6. Guided practice. Complete up to two problems as a class. Introduce the problem one at a time. Allow students to work in groups to model their solutions. Reflect on each groups response with a class discussion. Provide clarification. 7. Re-teaching provide- direct instruction to students in small groups as other students complete graphic organizers, math journals, and individual work. 8. Close lesson with summary and KWL chart Lesson Delivery and Guided Practice This is the fifth lesson in an instructional unit on conceptual division. In this lesson, students will discover the meaning of variables. The students will discover variables in word problems related to real-life situations. The teacher will demonstrate the use of variables in a familiar context used through the unit in models, manipulatives, and word problems to help students make connections. Classroom Management- Students should be seated in pairs or small groups of 3 - 4 students. Make sure all students have their math journals and pencils ready before the lesson. Make sure
57
Division Detectives Math Unit all materials for group work is presorted. Select a volunteer to pass out the materials (unifix cubes and chip counters) to each group just before the activity. Instructional Strategy- Direct instruction, group, and independent practice. Anticipatory Set Tell the class, Today we are going to work with variables. You have worked with variables in word problems. Lets start with a word problem we have worked on before. Open your math journals to the sample problems from our lesson on inverse operations. Write the first word problem on the board. Under the word problem, write the algorithm with a missing variable like such. If I have five markers and I borrow two from Jackson . How many markers will I have all together? 5 + 2= What is the variable in this number sentence? How do you know? Allow students to discuss their answers amongst their group before sharing with the whole class. Repeat the same process with the next sample question. This time make the divisor the variable. Sam and Mike want to play cars but Mike forgot to bring his cars to Sams house. They share six of Sams cars equally. Before Mike goes home, he gives back the borrowed cars. 6=3 Allow students to discuss their answers as a group before sharing with the whole class. Ask students, What do you think a variable is? Write down their answers on the board. Clarify any discrepancies by asking students to test their definitions with what they know about the word problem. Define a variable as an unknown number. Ask students to provide an example of a variable in a real-life situation or word problem. Lesson Display the following problem on the board. Clara put 21 bottles of water in the refrigerator. She wanted to group them equally on three shelves. How many bottles of water are in each group? Ask a volunteer to pass out the manipulatives to each group. Tell students to work in their groups to find the missing number. Hint, the divisor is the missing number. What
58
Division Detectives Math Unit is the divisor? Walk around the room to assess student progress and provide assistance. After each group has settled on an answer or up to two minutes have past discuss the word problem. Solicit volunteers to write the algorithm. Clarify any discrepancies. Ask one member of each group to explain the model. Display the next word problem on the board. Mike has 15 toy cars to wrap as presents. He wants to group them equally to give them to three friends. How many cars are in each group? Tell students to find the quotient and remainder. Allow students wanting a challenge to work the problem independently. Walk around the room to assess student progress and provide assistance. After no more than two minutes, solicit a volunteer to write the algorithm. Clarify any discrepancies. Ask volunteers to explain their models. Clarify any discrepancies. Show a model with chips and another with unifix cubes. Ask students to share the definition of remainders in their own words. Write them on the board. Allow students to copy the samples problems and definitions into their journals. Closure Summarize the main points of the lesson. Review the KWL chart. Make sure to explore the following questions. What is a variable? Where will we find variables in everyday life? What else did you learn about variables? Independent Practice Students will complete the worksheet that matches his or her level of math literacy. Differentiated Instruction As students work in groups, pull out four to five students and assess their comprehension and skills with two word problems. Use the information to develop a mini-lesson for re-teaching
59
Division Detectives Math Unit with directing instruction. For special need students, use smaller numbers. For ELL students provide a graphic organizer with labeled pictures to learn vocabulary. For gifted students use larger dividends and more complex story problems. Notice each student will use manipulatives and graphic organizers. However, the expectations for how they use them will vary. Students will also take turns completing math practice online. Assessment The students independent work will serve as an assessment. The teacher will review the concepts again in a follow up lesson before providing a short quiz. This will allow the teacher to decide if more exploration is needed on the topic before the unit test.
