Mastering Divisibility Rules with Engaging Worksheets

Mastering Divisibility Rules with Engaging Worksheets

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to understand and apply divisibility rules through interactive worksheets.

What do you already know about divisibility rules?

Divisibility Rules

Divisibility rules are special rules that help us determine if one number is divisible by another. These rules provide shortcuts to find out if a number can be divided evenly without actually performing the division.

Rule 2

A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8).

Rule 3

A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

Rule 4

A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits form a number divisible by 4.

Rule 5

A number is divisible by 5 if its last digit is either 0 or 5.

Rule 6

A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.

Review

Review and discuss the solutions to the worksheets to reinforce understanding of the divisibility rules.

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.
