<strong>Mathematics</strong> Lesson # _2____ Grade __3___<br />

Lesson created by: Jenny Meis<br />

Name of Unit: Division Concepts and Facts<br />

Name of Lesson: Subtraction and Division<br />

Prerequisite Knowledge:<br />

Repeated subtraction is subtracting the same subtrahend multiple times from<br />

the minuend to find the difference.<br />

When using repeated subtraction to find the difference you are skip-counting<br />

backwards.<br />

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. If a x b = c than c ÷ a = b.<br />

(Hardcourt Math teacher edition, volume 2- 3 rd grade, 2007)<br />

Learning Targets (Goals) (Understand that…)<br />

The students will understand that repeated subtraction may be used to solve<br />

a division problem.<br />

The students will understand when using repeated subtraction, start with the<br />

total and subtract equal groups until you reach zero. Count the number of<br />

times you subtracted to find the quotient.<br />

The students will understand that when using repeated subtraction to find<br />

the quotient, you are skip-counting backwards.<br />

The students will understand that division may be written in two different<br />

forms: with division house or as a division sentence.<br />

(Hardcourt Math teacher edition, volume 2- 3 rd grade, 2007)<br />

Success Criteria (I can…)<br />

I can find the solution to a division fact by repeated subtraction.<br />

I can explain that when using repeated subtraction to find the quotient, you<br />

are skip-counting backwards.<br />

I can shoe two different ways division problems can be shown: with division<br />

house or as a division sentence.<br />

Process Standards (Problem Solving, Communication, Connections,<br />

Reasoning and Proof, Representations)<br />

Problem solving-<br />

The students will be problem solving in partners during Equal Groups<br />

activity, the exit slip, homework problems, and early finisher worksheets.<br />

The students will build new mathematical knowledge through problem solving<br />

worksheets and group activities.<br />

Throughout the worksheets, the students will apply and adapt a variety of<br />

appropriate strategies to solve problems including using subtraction multiple<br />

times, using a number line, and other student invented strategies.<br />

Communication-<br />

When the students solve problems and explain their answers during their<br />

partner activities they will be displaying communication to organize and<br />

consolidate their mathematical thinking.<br />

The students will communicate their mathematical thinking coherently and<br />

clearly to peers, teachers and others during the summarize portion of the<br />

lesson plan.<br />

The students will analyze and evaluate the mathematical thinking and<br />

strategies of others during partner activities and through showing multiple<br />

representations for a solution through the finish the solution questioning<br />

strategy in their homework assignment.<br />

The students will use the language of mathematics to express mathematical<br />

ideas precisely by explaining their thinking when articulating their solution to<br />

a problem to partners and in the class discussions.<br />

Reasoning and Proof-<br />

The students will select and use various types of reasoning and methods of<br />

proof through completing the partner activities and using different methods<br />

of representation for repeated subtraction. They will also show reasoning<br />

and proof through their own invented strategies and using others.<br />

Representations-<br />

The students will create and use representations to organize, record, and<br />

communicate mathematical ideas through using number lines and invented<br />

strategies for repeated subtraction.<br />

The students will select, apply, and translate among mathematical<br />

representations to solve problems by selecting the one they are most<br />

comfortable with as well as using some outside their comfort zone in the<br />

Extra Practice homework problems.<br />

The students will use representations such as a number line and invented<br />

strategies to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical<br />

phenomena through repeated subtraction.<br />

Materials and Preparation:<br />

Hardcourt Math teacher edition, volume 2<br />

Worksheets and answer keys to each worksheet:<br />

(print out in different colors) (Attached)<br />

- Equal Groups<br />

- My Exit Slip<br />

-Relay Teams and Separating the Colors (early finisher)<br />

- Extra Practice! (homework)<br />

A group folder for each table that includes all of the worksheets listed above<br />

If using an overhead rather than a Smartboard- 3 transparency sheets for<br />

the warm-up<br />

Observation clipboard<br />

Warm-up/Opener:<br />

At your tables, draw one model as a group of how 18 can be divided into groups<br />

evenly and create a number sentence for it.<br />

6x3=18/ 3x6=18 (they may also have written division problems)<br />

1x 18=18/ 18x1=18<br />

9x2=18/ 2x9=18<br />

When you’re finished, try to find additional ways 18 can be divided up evenly.<br />

Have groups hold up their model when teacher says 1, 2, 3, Reveal!!<br />

2


Talk about all possible answers. Then, call on a student that thinks they can count<br />

on a number line to show this same number sentence. Have them show it on the<br />

overhead. (18÷8=2)<br />

2 1<br />

(You skip-count backwards, or subtract 2 times to from 18 to 0. That means 18÷8=2)<br />

Ask Students:<br />

Billy said division is like repeated addition. Do you agree or disagree? Explain why.<br />

Disagree. To find the quotient in a division problem you have to count how<br />

many times you skip-count backwards to find the quotient. Repeated subtraction if<br />

used in multiplication the product. That means you are skip counting forwards.<br />

Does anyone have any other suggestions for how we can show 18÷8=2?<br />

18 9<br />

-9 -9<br />

9 0<br />

Ask Students:<br />

“How is division like subtraction?”<br />

They both separate objects into equal groups.<br />

Other Possible answers:<br />

They both subtract numbers. If this is said, reply by suggesting you were<br />

talking about objects rather than just numbers.<br />

Ask students to show as a group two different ways or symbols division can be<br />

written. (Use 1, 2, 3, Reveal!!)<br />

÷ and<br />

(Questions and teaching adapted by (Meis, 2001) from Hardcourt Math teacher edition, volume 2- 3 rd grade, 2007)<br />

Launch:<br />

When I say “go,” I want everyone to get with their summer partners.(they will know<br />

what this means. If someone does not have a partner due to an absent student, place them with<br />

another group to make a group of 3). Right now, I need everyone to grab their “(color)”<br />

“equal Groups” worksheet sheet and the “(color)” Early finisher worksheet from<br />

your group folder.<br />

What you’re going to do once you find your partner, is complete the equal<br />

groups worksheet together. Make sure both partners can explain how they<br />

found the solutions to the problems. When you get to #4, try to come up<br />

with a strategy we have not talked about already.<br />

3


When you and your partner are finished, I would like you to work on your<br />

Early Finisher Worksheets.<br />

Before heading to your groups, you need to take with you your “(color)”<br />

Equal Groups worksheet sheet, and your Relay teams and Separating the<br />

Colors (Early Finisher activity), and a pencil with you.<br />

Ok, get with your summer partner. “GO!”<br />

Explore:<br />

A.) Anticipated student questions, teacher questions, and answers can be found<br />

on the worksheets. (see attached)<br />

B.) I will be doing my assessment through anecdotal notes on my teacher<br />

clipboard. I will be observing and taking notes about what students are<br />

struggling, which students need further challenged, common questions and<br />

misconceptions I see throughout the activity that need to be discussed when<br />

we come back together as a class.<br />

C.) Formative assessment:<br />

Agree/ Disagree questioning strategy in the early finisher(see warmup)<br />

Fit the condition questioning strategy (See Exit Slip)<br />

Finish the Solution questioning Strategy (See Extra Practice!)<br />

Add in color strategy to add anything they think is important to their<br />

array and variable worksheet when we go over it in class<br />

The teacher will be using formative assessment by taking anecdotal<br />

notes during the Equal Groups partner worksheet to see what students<br />

aren’t getting about division. These concerns or misconceptions will be<br />

addressed during the summative portion of the lesson.<br />

D.) Differentiated Questions/Tasks:<br />

The advanced partnerships that finish the Equal Groups partner<br />

activity quickly will have an early finisher activity that will challenge<br />

them further.<br />

Since they are working with partners, if they end up being at two<br />

different levels in division, they will help each other. The advanced<br />

student will gain deeper understanding by explaining things in different<br />

ways and the lower level partner will get things explain to them in a<br />

way they might grasp better understanding.<br />

E.) Early Finisher (“Relay Teams and Separating the Colors” See attached)<br />

Summarize:<br />

A.) Students will share the results and understanding of the Equal Groups<br />

worksheet together as a class discussion. If they hear something they<br />

4


think is important they will be instructed to add it to their Equal Groups<br />

sheet in colored pencil.<br />

B.) Key mathematical ideas that must be discussed include:<br />

Repeated subtraction may be used to solve a division problem.<br />

When using repeated subtraction, start with the total and subtract<br />

equal groups until you reach zero. Count the number of times you<br />

subtracted to find the quotient.<br />

When using repeated subtraction to find the quotient, you are skipcounting<br />

backwards.<br />

Division may be written in two different forms: with division house<br />

or as a division sentence.<br />

C.) Check for Understanding- They will show their understanding of the lesson<br />

by completing a fit the condition questioning strategy worksheet and<br />

showing a model that represents the division problem. (Exit Slip-<br />

attached)<br />

Application:<br />

Students will apply what they learned through the lesson by doing homework<br />

problems that require knowledge of division as repeated subtraction, ways to model<br />

it, and number sense. (Extra practice!- See attached)<br />

warm-up<br />

Observation clipboard<br />

Warm-up/Opener:<br />

Draw an array showing 18÷ 3= 6. Explain how you can look at your array 2<br />

different ways and still see 18÷3=6. ( 6 groups of 3; 3 groups of 6)<br />

Teacher Questions:<br />

“Think 3x6=18.”<br />

“What do you know about 3x6?”<br />

(3x4=12 is the same thing as having 4 groups of 3 to equal 12 altogether)<br />

In this division problem, what number is the divisor? Dividend? Quotient?<br />

18÷ 3= 6<br />

Dividend Divisor Quotient<br />

(Write on overhead or smartboard)<br />

Ask Students:<br />

Amy Says multiplication and division are opposite or inverse operations. Do you<br />

think this is reasonable or unreasonable? Why?<br />

Reasonable. The operations are opposite because multiplication puts together<br />

equal groups while division separates equal groups.<br />

(Questions and teaching adapted by (Meis, 2001) from Hardcourt Math teacher edition, volume 2- 3 rd grade, 2007)<br />

Launch:<br />

When I say “go,” I want everyone to get with their fall partners.<br />

(They will know what this means. If someone does not have a partner due to an absent student, place<br />

them with another group to make a group of 3).<br />

But first, I need everyone to grab their “(color)” Build It in Parts worksheet sheet<br />

and the “(color)” Arrays and Variables worksheet, and the “(color)” Early finisher<br />

worksheet from your group folder.<br />

What you’re going to do once you find your partner, is have one person grab<br />

a box of break-a-part cubes. Then you and your partner will decide on a<br />

number between 5 and 12. I’m going to choose 8 to demonstrate. I know<br />

that 4x2=8, so 4 green cubes and another 4 blue cubes will make 8 Now, I<br />

am going to color on the grid paper that 4 green plus 4 blue equal 8 and<br />

write the equation for it underneath my array. (Ask if anyone knows any<br />

other facts that make 8. Should get the answer 8x1=8) (Demonstrate<br />

drawing the arrays as well)<br />

(Demonstrate on overhead or smartboard)<br />

When you think you have found all the possible combinations to make the<br />

first number you and your partner has chosen, choose a number larger than<br />

the first to challenge yourselves. Do this with different 3 numbers and then<br />

8


choose your favorite example you have made to share with your table group<br />

after the partner activities. After your example is chosen, double checks to<br />

make sure you have found all the possible solutions. Then, work on the<br />

“(color)” Arrays and Variables worksheet with your partner. If you get<br />

finished with both of those activities work on your Early Finisher worksheet.<br />

You need to take with you, your “(color)” Build It in Parts worksheet sheet,<br />

the “(color)” Variables worksheet, The meaning of 0 (Early Finisher activity),<br />

a pencil, and your colored pencils with you.<br />

Ok, get with your fall partner. “GO!”<br />

Explore:<br />

F.) Anticipated student questions, teacher questions, and answers can be found<br />

on the worksheets. (see attached)<br />

G.) I will be doing my assessment through anecdotal notes on my teacher<br />

clipboard. I will be observing and taking notes about what students are<br />

struggling, which students need further challenged, common questions and<br />

Agree/ Disagree strategy in the early finisher (see attached)<br />

Fit the condition questioning strategy (See Extra Practice!)<br />

Add in color strategy to add anything they think is important to their<br />

array and variable worksheet when we go over it in class<br />

The teacher will be using formative assessment by taking anecdotal<br />

notes during the Break It in Parts activity and the Arrays and Variable<br />

worksheet with their partners<br />

I.) Differentiated Questions/Tasks:<br />

Build It in Parts - This activity is designed in a way that can be easily<br />

tiered. For the struggling students I will have them try to demonstrate<br />

smaller numbers and for the advanced student I will have them work<br />

on numbers above 12 that will be more challenging for those<br />

individuals.<br />

Once the students have mastered a smaller number they are<br />

instructed to break a part a bigger number that will have more factors<br />

and therefor more challenging.<br />

The advanced students who finish the partner activities quickly also<br />

will have an early finisher activity that will challenge them.<br />

J.) Early Finisher (“What’s the Meaning of 0? Early finisher- Attached)<br />

Summarize:<br />

D.) Students will share the results from their break it in parts activity with<br />

their table groups. Then, we will go over and finish the variables<br />

worksheet together as a class. If they hear something they think is<br />

important they will be instructed to add it to their sheet in colored pencil.<br />

E.) Key mathematical ideas that must be discussed include:<br />

How division and multiplication are related.<br />

How fact families are used when using multiplication to divide.<br />

How a variable and array can be used for division.<br />

F.) Check for Understanding- They will explain how to use an array to<br />

multiply and divide. They will write the division equation for the provided<br />

array and an additional equation that includes a variable. (Exit Slip-<br />

<strong>Mathematics</strong> Lesson # _4____ Grade __3___<br />

Lesson created by: Jenny Meis<br />

Name of Unit: Division Concepts and Facts<br />

Name of Lesson: Fact Families<br />

Prerequisite Knowledge:<br />

Multiplication facts through 10<br />

Know how to make equal groups<br />

A fact family is a set of related multiplication and division sentences.<br />

Think of the quotient or missing divisor as one of the missing factors in the<br />

related multiplication sentence.<br />

To use a related multiplication table and related multiplication fact to find a<br />

quotient in the top row, look down to find the dividend, and then look to the<br />

left to find the missing number.<br />

(Hardcourt Math teacher edition, volume 2- 3 rd grade, 2007)<br />

Learning Targets (Goals) (Understand that…)<br />

The students will understand they can use related multiplication facts to find<br />

quotients or missing divisors in division sentences.<br />

The students will understand you cannot write a division sentence using a<br />

smaller dividend than the divisor and still get a whole number.<br />

The students will know that they can use a multiplication table to find the<br />

missing quotient or divisor in a division sentence.<br />

(Hardcourt Math teacher edition, volume 2- 3 rd grade, 2007)<br />

Success Criteria (I can…)<br />

I can use multiplication and division fact families to help me find the missing<br />

variable in a division or multiplication problem.<br />

If I write a division sentence using a smaller dividend than the divisor I will<br />

not get a whole number. I will get a fraction.<br />

I can find the missing quotient or divisor by using a multiplication table.<br />

Process Standards (Problem Solving, Communication, Connections,<br />

Reasoning and Proof, Representations)<br />

Problem solving-<br />

The students will build new mathematical knowledge through solving<br />

problems with variables, writing fact families with their Triangular Fact Family<br />

cards, and completing the Extra Practice! homework problems to reinforce<br />

their new skills.<br />

Students will apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solving<br />

problems with missing variables. This will be demonstrated through the<br />

Triangle Family Fact cards, the variable worksheet, the early finisher, as well<br />

as the Extra Practice! homework problems.<br />

The students will monitor and reflect on the process of mathematical problem<br />

solving by using the smile face self-assessment tool (putting a happy,<br />

uncertain, or sad face by any math problem they do during this lesson to let<br />

themselves as well as me know what they are doing well with and what they<br />

need more help with.<br />

11


Communication-<br />

The students will solve problems and explain their answers during the<br />

activities (Triangle Fact Family Cards, and multiplication table worksheet)<br />

and displaying communication to organize and consolidate their<br />

mathematical thinking.<br />

The students will communicate their mathematical thinking coherently and<br />

clearly to peers, teachers and others during the summarize portion of the<br />

lesson plan and the warm-up by discussing and agreeing on a common<br />

solution.<br />

The students will analyze and evaluate the mathematical thinking and<br />

strategies of others during the warm-up group discussion and the summarize<br />

portions of the lesson plan.<br />

Advanced students and struggling learners will show multiple representations<br />

for a division sentence with the same quotient during the Extra Practice!<br />

homework problems.<br />

The students will use the language of mathematics to express mathematical<br />

ideas precisely by explaining their thinking when articulating their solution to<br />

problems during group and whole class discussions as well as individually on<br />

the Extra Practice! and multiplication table worksheets.<br />

Connections-<br />

The students will be making connections in this lesson by relating fact<br />

families (multiplication problems) to division problems to help them find out<br />

a missing variable. They will also be making connections and building number<br />

sense through using a multiplication table in their multiplication table<br />

worksheet.<br />

Working with a multiplication table and making their own fact family cards<br />

will allow the student interconnect and build on existing mathematical<br />

knowledge to produce a coherent whole.<br />

A group folder for each table that includes all of the worksheets listed above<br />

If using an overhead rather than a smartboard- 3 transparency sheets for the<br />

warm-up.<br />

Observation clipboard<br />

Students will need their scissors<br />

Warm-up/Opener:<br />

This error analysis questioning strategy will be displayed or written on the board.<br />

Students will first work on it by themselves and then discuss it with their table<br />

groups.<br />

Victoria says 3 ÷ 4 = 12. What error is she making?<br />

Victoria is writing the problem wrong because she is switching around the<br />

divisor and the dividend. She has the dividend as 3 and the divisor as 4.<br />

Teacher Questions:<br />

“Think about the parts of a division problem that we learned yesterday.”<br />

Divisor, dividend, and quotient.<br />

“What does the divisor mean in an array? Dividend?<br />

Divisor-The total number of rows and columns<br />

Dividend- The number of rows.<br />

Once you discuss as a whole group what she is doing wrong have each group write<br />

the division problem the correct way on whiteboards, one per group. Have them<br />

label each part of the problem.<br />

12 ÷ 3 = 4<br />

Dividend Divisor Quotient<br />

(Write all answers from groups on the overhead or smartboard. Then have them choose as a group<br />

which one is correct)<br />

Ask Students:<br />

Can anyone come up with an equation for Victoria’s problem by switching the<br />

operation? Explain your thinking.<br />

3 x 4 = 12 because multiplication is the inverse operation of division. You can<br />

put the little number first in multiplication because it doesn’t matter what<br />

comes first. 3x4 is the same as 4x3. But in division, if you divide a smaller<br />

number from a larger number you will get a fractional number. Like 2÷ 4 =<br />

½.<br />

Demonstrate the 2÷ 4 = ½ issue with a pizza if students can’t explain why<br />

13


they will get a fraction.<br />

(Questions and teaching adapted by (Meis, 2001) from Hardcourt Math teacher edition, volume 2- 3 rd grade, 2007)<br />

Launch:<br />

The students will Make their own set of triangle fact cards for each of these<br />

products: 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 25, and 30. They will be doing this in their table<br />

groups.<br />

Before the students do it on their own, make a triangle family fact card for the<br />

product of 15 together on the overhead or smartboard.<br />

Factor Factor<br />

Product<br />

A. First, you will fold each paper in half 3 times. Open up the paper and cut<br />

along the folds to make triangle cards.<br />

B. Make triangle facts for each of these products: 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 25, and<br />

30.<br />

C. Write fact families for at least 3 triangle fact cards.<br />

When you have completed your Triangle Fact Family cards work on your<br />

Multiplication Table worksheet/activity.<br />

You will find the directions and the paper you need in your group folder. Get that<br />

out now along with the Multiplication table worksheet and the Early Finisher. You<br />

will also need scissors from your desk. If you get done early work on the Early<br />

finisher activity.<br />

Explain to the students that today you would also like them to put a :l <br />

(happy, middle, or sad face by any math problem they complete today to let me<br />

know what you understand and what you aren’t so sure about.<br />

L.) Formative Assessment Strategies and questions:<br />

I will be doing my assessment through anecdotal notes on my teacher<br />

clipboard. I will be observing and taking notes about what students are<br />

struggling, which students need further challenged, common questions and<br />

misconceptions I see throughout the activity that need to be discussed when<br />

we come back together as a class.<br />

I will also have the students self-assess by way of happy, uncertain, or sad<br />

face smiles by any math problems they do to let themselves as well as me<br />

know what they are going great with and what they need a little extra help<br />

with.<br />

Error Analysis questioning strategy in the warm up (see warm-up)<br />

The teacher will be using formative assessment by taking anecdotal notes<br />

during the Triangle Fact Family activity<br />

Reasonable/ unreasonable questioning strategy in Extra Practice! Homework<br />

assignment<br />

Revise in color if they have a wrong factor for a Triangle fact family card or<br />

have written a wrong fact family equation (See the Summarize portion of the<br />

lesson)<br />

M.) Differentiated Questions/Tasks:<br />

Triangle Fact Family activity- This activity has been designed to be<br />

tiered easily. For the struggling student, I will have them create fact<br />

family cards for smaller quotients.<br />

4 ÷2 10÷5 (landmark numbers)<br />

If the struggling students still don’t seem to be getting a grasp on<br />

division, I will introduce them to counting by multiples.<br />

20÷5= (4)<br />

(count by fives up to 20. Keep track of how many times you count to get to the<br />

dividend)<br />

For the advanced student (I will notice them because they will be<br />

working on the different colored Early Finisher worksheet)who might<br />

get done relatively quickly, I will have them write division sentences<br />

that has the same quotient as the division sentences below:<br />

24÷3=8 Possible Solutions: 16÷2=8; 40 ÷5=8<br />

18÷2=9 27÷3=9; 36÷4=9<br />

The early finisher can also be used as a challenge for the advanced<br />

student.<br />

N.) Early Finisher (“Fact families” - Attached)<br />

Summarize:<br />

G.) When finished with the Triangle fact family activity, I will have all of the<br />

students come together and go over their fact Triangle cards as a class. If<br />

they have wrong factors or something wrong in a fact family equation,<br />

they will be instructed to revise in color.<br />

H.) Key mathematical ideas that must be discussed include:<br />

Each Triangle fact family card has 2 multiplication equations and 2<br />

division equations.<br />

They can use related multiplication facts to find quotients or missing<br />

divisors in division sentences.<br />

Multiplication tables and how to use them to find variables.<br />

I.) Check for Understanding (Exit Slip- attached)<br />

Application:<br />

Students will apply what they learned through the lesson by doing homework<br />

problems that require them to practice the skills they learned today such as how a<br />

division sentence can use the same numbers as a multiplication sentence and how<br />

to use a multiplication table to find solutions to division problems. (Extra practice!-<br />
