Dividing with Repeated Subtraction Adventure

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to divide using repeated subtraction and solve interactive challenges.

What do you already know about dividing using repeated subtraction?

Introduction to Division

Division is sharing or grouping a certain number of items into equal parts. We can use repeated subtraction to divide.

Visual Aid: Repeated Subtraction

Show a visual representation of repeated subtraction to divide and explain how it works using a simple example.

Whole Class Challenge: Interactive Question

Solve this problem together: If there are 15 apples and we want to share them equally among 3 friends, how many apples will each friend get?

Interactive Activity: Equal Sharing

In pairs, use counters to demonstrate the process of dividing a given number into equal parts using repeated subtraction.

Chilli Challenge: Word Problems

Solve the following word problems in your jotters: 1) If there are 20 cookies and 4 friends want to share them equally, how many will each friend get? 2) If there are 18 balloons and 3 children want an equal number, how many will each child get?

Differentiation: Simplifying Problems

For students who find it challenging, use smaller numbers to practice dividing using repeated subtraction.

Review and Summary

Recap the key points about dividing using repeated subtraction and ask students to share their understanding.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
