Divisibility Lesson Plan

Fifth grade

Unit Background:

This lesson is on divisibility. It is used in the sixth grade to lead into lessons on simplifying
fractions and finding the greatest common factor or least common multiple. It is usually seen in
the last chapter of the fifth grade textbook.

I. Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
a. (Cognitive) to explain the divisibility of a number using the divisibility rules;
b. (Psychomotor) to perform long division of whole numbers using the
divisibility rules;
c. (Affective) to answer problems using the divisibility rules.

II. Learning Talk

a. _ Topic: Divisibility Rules
b. _ Reference: Soaring 21st Century Mathematics
c. _ Materials: Book, Visual Aids
d. _ Value: Critical Thinking

III. Developmental Task

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

Routine Activity
 Prayer
 Greetings
 Checking Attendance

a. Review
Who can recall our topic last time? We discussed about multiples and factors
Okay, who can give the multiples of 5? 5, 10, 15, 20, 25…

Very good! Now, let us proceed to our

lesson.

IV. Evaluation:
1. Answer. In each case, explain why or why not (justify your answer).
a. Is 7 a factor of 3,500?
b. Is 283 divisible by 13?
2. Are these numbers divisible by 3? If yes, perform the long division and divide the
number by 3.
a. 539
b. 43,719
3. Make a list of five consecutive numbers that are divisible by 9, starting from 99.
4. Find a number that is evenly divisible by 6 and is between 90 and 100.
5. Who am I?
"I am between 50 and 100.
I am divisible by 3 and by 4.
My tens digit is double my ones digit."
V. Assignment:
Determine the divisibility of the following numbers by putting a check ( ) in the
appropriate box or boxes.

Divisible by:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1. 1755
2. 298
3. 3270
4. 4000
5. 64
Group Activity
Is That Divisible?
A game to practice divisibility rules for 2,3,4,5,6,8,8 and 10

Aim of Group Activity:

To play and practice their divisibility rules.
To develop active participation of students in the class.
To build up creative and critical thinking among students.

All that is required to play:

A paper clip and a pencil to spin AND dice (either 2 or 3) for each group playing the game.
2-5 students can play with one game board.

Materials:
Game Board
Recording Sheet

Activity Task:
1. The teacher will divide the class into 2 groups.
2. Highest roller begins the game.
3. Player One rolls 2 dice and spins the spinner.
4. If the digits on the dice can be arranged to form a number that is divisible
number that was spun, Player One receives the sum of the digits that were
rolled on the dice. If not, the player receives 0 for the round and the next
player rolls. The first player to reach 50 points wins!
Example: If you roll: 2, 3 AND spin: 4
You could make: 23 or 32
5. Use your divisibility rules to see if you can find a number that is divisible by
the number spun. So, for example, 32 is divisible by four, so you would
receive the sum of the points rolled 2+3 = 5
