Dissecting Division
Over the last two weeks we have been dissecting, or studying, what division really means. Below you will find many productions our students made to help us better comprehend division.
It is important that we understand division is the sharing of objects equally into groups.
We practiced this skill in many ways. Here a student is dividing 10 delicious chocolate cookies among 2 famished, or very hungry students.
How many cookies would each student get?
In this problem the number of cookies is our dividend. It is what is being divided. Two students is the divisor, or how many groups it is being divided into. Our answer or quotient is 5. The quotient is how many are in each group.
Can you name the dividend, divisor and quotient in this picture?
Pat Hutchins wrote a book called The Doorbell Rang. You can listen to the book by clicking on the video below. How many different division sentences are in this story?
Here another student
is writing a division sentence to match a different word problem. Can
you write a word problem to match the picture and number sentence shown
in the picture?

Please write a comment asking a friend to solve your division problem. Remember division asks how many are in each group, not how many are there in all!
Your comment must include adjectives, strong vocabulary and expanded sentences.

Dear Jordyn,
ReplyDeleteI went to Target and bought some art supplies. I bought 3 packets of paper. There are 21 pages in all. If I have 21 pages of paper, and 3 packets, how many pieces of paper are in each packet?

Dear everyone,
ReplyDeleteI have a division word problem for you.
Mr. Sir has 3 small sacks of beans to feed his hungry relatives. All together he has 30 beans. If you were skip counting by 3’s then you count until you got to 30. I used my fingers and used all 10. So that means that I have 10 beans in each sack.
Also, I have a challenge for you: you have to write the division number sentence and you must name which is the divisor, the dividend, and the quotient!
From,
Max
Dear Braeden,
ReplyDeletePlease find out the quotient for this division riddle.
One day, my mom and I went to Smart & Final Extra to get food. We got a pack of 24 waffles thinking that it would last a 2 weeks. If we ate 11 a week, would we have enough, have reminders, or need more? It would really help because this is all true, and I am sort of lazy with math. Can you reply, please?
Sincerely,
Judah who is lazy with math (J.K.)
Dear Sophia N,
ReplyDeleteThat's a great question and yes, I can answer your division problem.
If there are 21 apples in all with 7 apples in each basket, there will be 3 total baskets.
Now I have a problem for you to answer, Sophia.
There are 24 books on space in the library, if there are 12 students in the class, what's the total amount of books they can each take home?
Read lots of books!
Love,
Teddi
