TITLE: Multi-digit dividends

AUTHOR: Teacher’s name

GRADE LEVEL/SUBJECT: Appropriate for grade 5

OVERVIEW: Understanding division in all its aspects (from simple operation to properties and connection with multiplication) can be difficult for many students. It takes time and practice in order to can use it further in algebra, geometry, trigonometry or calculus. Also the practical part is very important for using division confidently in real life.

OBJECTIVE(s): The students will be able to:

1. Accurately divide multi-digit numbers;

2. Accurately understand and use division’s property of being distributive;

3. Accurately understand the relation between division and multiplication; check the correctness of the division using the multiplication

RESOURCES/MATERIALS:
Student Materials = crayons or markers, pencils, paper.

Teacher Materials = Chalkboard, chalk

ACTIVITIES AND PROCEDURES:

1. Divide the class into groups of four.

2. Each group will receive a number of sheets of paper (24, 25, 26, 27, etc) and they will try to divide equally to each student the same no. of sheets.

3. Ask the groups how do they think that this action can be represented mathematically? After more tries, the teacher and the students will write on the chalkboard the divisions: 24:4=6, 25:4=6 and 1 as remainder, etc. The remainder can be seen as the number of sheets of paper remained.

4. Then take the one paper remained from the second group, cut it in 4 equal parts and then write on the chalk board 25:4=6 and ¼, or 6,25.

The students can learn the division in the following form: 25:4=6,25
24
=10
8
20
20
==
5. Repeat the same thing with the other operations from all the groups in the classroom and make sure that the students have understood both interpretations of these divisions.

6. Teach the students to check the correctness of the division: 25=4 x 6 +1 or 25 = 4 x 6,25.

7. Challenge the students to approximate results of some divisions (for example: 807: 20 is approx. 40 because 807:20 = (800 + 7):20 = 800: 20 + 7: 20 = 40 + 0,35 (distributive) . Another example could be 870:20 = (900-30):20=900:20 – 30:20 = 45 – 1,5= 43,5.

TYING IT ALL TOGETHER:
This lesson can be completed as one lesson or extended to several,
depending on the level and ability of the class. Examples and exercise as many as possible are recommended.

Learning the divisibility rules was my first acknowledgment about how fun and challenging math can be. I was 10 years old and I could have “discover” for my self why a number is divisible by some specific numbers.

Our teacher has written on the board a row of numbers and then he has asked us which ones we think are dividing by 2, then by 5, 10, 100, 3, 9, 25, etc. So, we have found together the right answers and
then it came a more “tricky” question: what do you notice at the numbers divisible by 3? There were numbers like: 9, 21, 36, and 201. And this was my moment of glory! I’ve noticed that the sum of the digits for all these numbers is a multiple of 3 (9 – itself, 2+1=3, 3+6=9, 2+0+1=3). So, all my colleagues have written in their notebooks “MY rule”: a number is dividing by 3 if the sum of its digits is a multiple of 3.

This is an example of the many happy moments of my math classes and I am the proof that what is the more important thing in enjoying a subject is THE TEACHER! The best way to teach is to let the impression to the students that they are discovering math’s rules. If my math teacher would have been taught history, then today I would be a history teacher instead of math teacher. After years, I could see also the lesson plans of my teacher: very complete, done with hard work and love!

This is the kind of lesson plan we want to present you in our next materials. We want them to be helpful and joyful as well. I’m looking forward to hear your opinions and suggestions!

For the past five years, Devlin has been part of a pioneering effort to create a massively multiplayer online game, something to rival “World of Warcraft,” but tailored as a tool for mathematics education. “World of Warcraft” is a wildly successful role-playing game that currently has more than 15 million players.

Devlin thinks the role-playing approach has tremendous potential, but based on his experience, he said, it may take a national initiative to make it happen. He explained his views, and exhorted his peers to work to promote such a project, at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting in San Diego. Devlin collaborated with a group from private industry to develop a prototype of such a video game to help teach middle school students math by fully immersing them in a simulated three-dimensional environment.
