FS Session # __5__ Name: Jesslyn Camp

Teaching Point: Mathematicians use multiple strategies to solve problems.

Problem: Problem Type:

1. The teacher has 56 markers and 8 Partitive Division
small groups of students. How many
markers will each group get?
2. The teacher has 6 pizzas but there
are 8 students. How much pizza will
each student get?
3. Ms. Camp has 5 bags of cookies.
Altogether she has has 15 cookies.
There are the same number of
cookies in each bag. How many
cookies are in each bag?
4. Conrad has 6 boxes of pencils with
the same number of pencils in each
box. Altogether, he has 24 pencils.
How many pencils are in each box?

Rationale for choosing this problem:

My students have the idea of Equal Sharing problems so I now want to expose them to
Partitive Division.

Differentiation: Enrichment: Have students that finish problems create their own Partitive
Division problem.

Content (121, 11), (65, 13), (72, 8)

Process May use paper or other materials as manipulatives.

Product Students will record their thinking on paper.

Launch (Making sure students understand the task):
Start out with a simple model problem. Demonstrate this example on an anchor chart
(Example: 2 x 4). Then read the problem out loud, before distributing the problem. After ask
students to recall the information read.

Independent Work Questions to assess Questions to advance

Questions to support
productive struggle:
“What are you thinking?”
“Tell me about your picture.”
“How can I help you better
understand this?”
learning: learning:
“What did you do to get “Could you come up with your
this answer?” answer in a different way?”
“Can you show me how “Can you create your own
you counted?” number set for this problem?”
“What do these symbols “Can you model for the class
represent?” what you did?”

Sharing Out:
Ask each person to share their solution. Look for and discuss different strategies. Refer back
to the teaching point – Mathematicians use multiple strategies to solve problems.
