PERIOD 1 and 2

PRESENTATION

Step

Teacher’s Activity

Pupil’s Activity

STEP 1 – INTRODUCTION

Introduces division using real objects to demonstrate sharing.

Pupils share objects to understand division concept.

STEP 2 - EXPLANATION

Demonstrates how to divide whole numbers by 2-digit and 3-digit numbers (with and without remainder).

Pupils observe and ask questions.

STEP 3 - DEMONSTRATION

Solves problems like 432 ÷ 12 and 987 ÷ 23 on the board.

Pupils attempt similar problems on the board.

STEP 4 - NOTE TAKING

Pupils take down division steps and examples.

Pupils write and solve example problems.

NOTE (On the Board):

  • Long division method
  • 432 ÷ 12 = 36
  • 987 ÷ 23 = 42 r21

EVALUATION:

  • Pupils solve two 2-digit and two 3-digit division problems.

CLASSWORK:

  • Solve the following:
  1. 576 ÷ 24
  2. 432 ÷ 12
  3. 987 ÷ 23
  4. 1210 ÷ 11

ASSIGNMENT:

  • Divide and show all steps:
  1. 765 ÷ 15
  2. 1443 ÷ 27

CONCLUSION:
