Lesson Plan: Division for Primary 3 Children

Subject: Mathematics Topic: Division Grade Level: Primary 3 (8-9 years old) Duration: 45 minutes

Introduction: 1. Begin the lesson by asking the students if they know what division is and if they have any prior knowledge about it. 2. Show a real-life example of division, such as sharing a pizza among friends, to help them understand the concept. 3. Explain that division is the process of sharing or grouping a given number of objects equally.

Lesson Outline: 1. Division Vocabulary (5 minutes) a. Introduce key division vocabulary: dividend, divisor, quotient. b. Provide simple definitions and examples for each term.

1. Division with Manipulatives (10 minutes) a. Distribute manipulatives (e.g., counters, cubes, or small objects) to each student. b. Model division using manipulatives by dividing a given number of objects into equal groups. c. Ask students to practice division with manipulatives in pairs or small groups.

2. Division with Numbers (15 minutes) a. Introduce division using numbers. b. Explain the division symbol (÷) and how it is used. c. Demonstrate division problems on the board, starting with simple division facts (e.g., 12 ÷ 3 = ?). d. Encourage students to solve division problems independently on their worksheets.

Questioning: 1. During the lesson, ask questions to check for understanding and engage students in discussions: a. What is division? b. Can you give an example of division in real life? c. What is the dividend, divisor, and quotient in a division problem? d. How can you use manipulatives to solve division problems? e. Can you solve this division problem: 24 ÷ 4 = ?

Assessment: 1. Use formative assessment techniques throughout the lesson, such as observing students’ participation, checking their manipulative work, and providing feedback. 2. Assess students’ understanding of division by reviewing their completed worksheets. 3. Provide individual support or additional practice for students who may be struggling with the concept.

Differentiation: 1. For students who need extra support: a. Provide manipulatives or visuals to help them understand the concept of division. b. Offer additional practice problems with smaller numbers. c. Provide more guidance during independent work.

1. For students who need a challenge: a. Assign more complex division problems with larger numbers. b. Encourage them to explain their thinking and strategies when solving division problems. c. Provide extension activities, such as creating their own division word problems.

Plenary: 1. Summarize the lesson by reviewing the key division vocabulary and concepts. 2. Ask students to share one thing they learned about division during the lesson. 3. Provide feedback and reinforce the importance of practicing division skills.
