Mastering Division: Using the Standard Algorithm

Mastering Division: Using the Standard Algorithm

Learning Objective

Understand and apply the standard algorithm for division.

What do you already know about division using the standard algorithm?

Introduction to Division

Division is the process of sharing or grouping a number into equal parts.

Basic Division Terms

Dividend, divisor, quotient, and remainder are important terms in division.

Steps of the Standard Algorithm

Step 1: Divide, Step 2: Multiply, Step 3: Subtract, Repeat if necessary.

Understanding Long Division

Long division is a method of dividing numbers using the standard algorithm.

Practice Problems

Solve division problems using the standard algorithm.

Word Problems

Apply division to solve real-world word problems.

Assessment

Complete a division worksheet to demonstrate understanding of the standard algorithm.

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.
