Math Lesson Name: o Linsy Bowers Lesson Adapted From: Discipline: o Mathematics Grade Level: o 3rd Grade Focus: o Determine unknown factors in division problems. Standards: o 3.OA.4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. Objectives: o The student will be able to determine an unknown number in a division problem. Assessment: o Formative: - Proficiency Scale: The students will use the proficiency scale as a self-assessment. o Summative: -Students will take a picture or screenshot of their “Missing Divisor Game” after they get 10 correct problems. Materials: o Computer o Paper o Pencil Procedure: o Anticipatory Set: - The students will watch this video. • https://youtu.be/iGASHBWBDU4 o Direct Instruction (I do): - The students will watch this video. • https://youtu.be/V43E0Ow-N6g Introduce vocabulary words: • Dividend-the number that is being divided up • Divisor-the number that you are dividing by or how many equal groups you will create • Quotient-the answer to a division problem Explain to students how to find the unknown factor in a division problem if the unknown is in the middle of the equation. Example: 81 ÷ ___ = 3 Explanation: We would divide the dividend and the quotient. Explain to students how to find the unknown factor in a division problem if the unknown is at the beginning of the equation. Example: ___ ÷ 3 = 63 Explanation: We would multiply the divisor and the quotient. Explain to students the proficiency scale and how it will be used in this lesson. Math 3rd Grade Proficiency Scale 4 I can also solve real world problems using multiplication and division 3 I can: Standard: -Use unknown numbers to 3.OA.4 solve multiplication and division problems. 2 Vocabulary: Skills: -dividend -know how to multiply and -divisor divide within 100 -quotient -know when to multiply and divide in word problems -use equations with unknowns in multiplication and division problems 1 With help o Guided Practice (We do): -Let’s do a problem together! -The students will watch this video. • https://youtu.be/PIsqqXbtPOI Question: I have 15 basketballs. I have 3 baskets. How many basketballs will be in each basket? So here is our equation: 15 ÷ 3 = ___ This problem tells us that we must divide the 15 basketballs into 3 equal groups. We will put a basketball into each basket until all the basketballs are gone. How many basketballs will be in each group? 5! That is correct o Independent Practice (You do): -Play Missing Divisor Game (the student will play until they get 10 correct) • https://toytheater.com/missing-divisor/ -Students will email or upload a picture or screenshot of their game after they get 10 problems correct. This allows me to see if they are struggling to understand how to find unknown factors in a division problem. Modification: o Students may use rows and groups to find unknown factors o For example: 7 x ? = 14 -One row is 7 -Two rows of 7 is 7+7 How many rows are there? That’s right, 2! So that makes the equation 7 x 2 = 14 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 .
