There is no one best way to teach division, as different students may have
different learning styles and preferences. However, some general tips and
strategies that might help are:

 Introduce division as sharing or grouping. This helps students understand the concept
of division as dividing a larger number into smaller, equal parts. You can use concrete
objects, such as candies, blocks, or coins, to demonstrate how to share or group them
 equally among a certain number of people or containers. For example, you can show
how 12 candies can be shared among 3 people by giving each person 4 candies, or how
12 candies can be grouped into 4 groups of 3 candies each 12
 Relate division to multiplication. This helps students use their prior knowledge of
multiplication facts to solve division problems. You can explain that division is the
opposite of multiplication, and show how to use the inverse relationship between them
to find missing factors or quotients. For example, you can show how 8 x 5 = 40 and 40 /
5 = 8 are related, and how to use one equation to find the answer to the other. You can
also use a multiplication chart or a fact family triangle to help students see the
connection between multiplication and division 23
 Teach the divisibility rules. These are rules that help students determine whether a
number can be divided by another number without a remainder. For example, a number
is divisible by 2 if it ends in an even digit, a number is divisible by 5 if it ends in 0 or 5,
and a number is divisible by 10 if it ends in 0. These rules can help students check their
answers, estimate quotients, and simplify fractions. You can provide students with a chart
or a poster of the divisibility rules for reference 1
 Use models and visuals. These are tools that help students represent and solve division
problems in different ways. Some common models and visuals for teaching division are
area models, bar models, number lines, arrays, and base ten blocks. These models and
visuals can help students see how to break down numbers into smaller parts, how to
distribute them equally, how to handle remainders, and how to write division expressions
or equations. You can use manipulatives, drawings, or interactive software to create and
use these models and visuals with your students12
 Practice with games and activities. These are fun ways to help students practice and
reinforce their division skills. You can use games and activities that involve dice, cards,
dominoes, puzzles, bingo, board games, or online games to make division more
engaging and enjoyable for your students. You can also use games and activities that
involve real-life scenarios or word problems to make division more relevant and
meaningful for your students12

Sure, I can explain more with more visuals. Let me show you an example of how to use
an area model to solve a division problem.

Suppose you want to divide 36 by 4. You can use an area model to represent this
problem as a rectangle with an area of 36 square units. You can divide the rectangle into
4 equal rows, and then count how many units are in each row. This will give you the
quotient, or the answer to the division problem.

Here is a visual of the area model:

||||||||||

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

||||||||||

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

||||||||||

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

||||||||||

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

As you can see, each row has 9 units, so the quotient is 9. You can write the division
expression as 36 / 4 = 9, or the division equation as 36 = 4 x 9.

Does this make sense? Do you have any questions or feedback?

I'm sorry to hear that you still don't understand. Let me try to explain it in a different
way.

Another way to think about division is as repeated subtraction. This means that you can
subtract the divisor from the dividend repeatedly until you get zero or a remainder. The
number of times you subtract is the quotient, or the answer to the division problem.

For example, if you want to divide 36 by 4, you can start with 36 and subtract 4
repeatedly until you get zero or a remainder. Here is how it looks:
36 - 4 = 32

32 - 4 = 28

28 - 4 = 24

24 - 4 = 20

20 - 4 = 16

16 - 4 = 12

12 - 4 = 8

8-4=4

4-4=0

As you can see, you subtracted 4 nine times, so the quotient is 9. You can write the
division expression as 36 / 4 = 9, or the division equation as 36 = 4 x 9.

Does this make sense? Do you have any questions or feedback?

Sure, I can show you another example. Let's try to divide 42 by 6 using repeated
subtraction.

We start with 42 and subtract 6 repeatedly until we get zero or a remainder. Here is how
it looks:

42 - 6 = 36

36 - 6 = 30

30 - 6 = 24

24 - 6 = 18
 18 - 6 = 12

12 - 6 = 6

6-6=0

As you can see, we subtracted 6 seven times, so the quotient is 7. We can write the
division expression as 42 / 6 = 7, or the division equation as 42 = 6 x 7.

If you want to help students who are struggling with division, you can try
some of the following strategies and activities:

 Emphasize the relationship between division and multiplication. Division

is basically multiplication in reverse. When you’re first starting your division
lessons, help them feel more familiar by relating them back to all the
multiplication facts your students just mastered. This is also a great way to
give students who struggled with multiplication more practice time. By
showing how these facts are related, your students can easily jump between
basic multiplication and division problems, gaining the confidence they need
for the bigger numbers and concepts to come1
 Use models like arrays, number lines, area models, and bar models.
Memorizing math facts does not equal understanding. To give your students a
stronger foundation for future math studies, use different visual models to
help explain division. Grouping objects into the rows and columns of an array
makes it easier to see the relationship between multiplication and division
while also cementing understanding. Area models are great for practicing
division with grouping because they give a visual representation on a base 10
model. And number lines help students who are still working on their skip
counting skills12
 Don’t skip over manipulatives. Even though your students are getting older,
manipulatives are still an important way to help their understanding. We use
division all the time in our daily lives. Take advantage of the learning all
around by providing plenty of word problems with corresponding
manipulatives in your classroom. Break out the play money, divvy up candy
 into small bowls for sharing, and bring on the Lego blocks to keep your
students engaged and learning1
 Use storybooks for teaching division. It’s easy to bring integrated learning
to your classroom — just find a few great math books to help introduce your
next math topic. These clever books are the perfect jumping-off point for
teaching division, especially if you have kids use counters like pom-poms to
act out the story as you go. Some examples of books that teach division are:
Divide and Ride (Murphy/Ulrich), The Doorbell Rang (Hutchins), The
Multiplying Menace Divides (Calvert/Geehan), A Remainder of One
(Pinczes/MacKain), Bean Thirteen (McElligott) 2
 Use task cards for division practice. Task cards are a simple way to mix up
your division practice. Hand out task cards to individual students, or set up
stations throughout the room with manipulatives corresponding with each
task. Your cards give students a

The objectives of this lesson are:

- To understand the concept of division as sharing or grouping

- To use the symbols and vocabulary for division problems

- To relate division to multiplication and use multiplication facts to solve division

problems

- To use models and visuals to represent and solve division problems

- To practice and apply division skills with games and activities

Some of the prior knowledge that students in grade four need for learning division are:

- **Understanding the concept of equal groups**. Students should be able to recognize and
create equal groups of objects, such as sharing 12 candies among 3 friends or grouping 12
candies into 3 groups of 4 candies each. They should also be able to use repeated addition to
find the total number of objects in equal groups, such as 4 + 4 + 4 = 12. ¹²

- **Knowing the basic multiplication facts**. Students should be able to recall and apply the
basic multiplication facts up to 10 x 10, such as 3 x 4 = 12 and 6 x 7 = 42. They should also be
able to use arrays, number lines, or skip counting to help them with multiplication. ¹²

- **Understanding place value**. Students should be able to read and write numbers up to four
digits, such as 1,234, and understand the value of each digit in a number, such as 1,000 + 200 +
30 + 4. They should also be able to compare and order numbers using symbols like <, >, or =. ¹²

- **Using estimation strategies**. Students should be able to use rounding or compatible

numbers to estimate sums, differences, products, or quotients. For example, they should be
able to estimate that 23 x 5 is about 100 by rounding 23 to 20 and multiplying by 5. ¹²

I hope this helps you understand what your students need to know before learning division. Do
you have any questions or feedback?

Communication is an important skill for teaching any lesson, especially math. Here are some tips
on how to communicate with your students in this lesson on division:

- **Use clear and consistent language**. When you introduce new terms or symbols, such as
dividend, divisor, quotient, remainder, division sign, or forward slash, make sure you explain
what they mean and how they are used. Use the same words and symbols throughout the
lesson and avoid confusing synonyms or abbreviations. For example, don't switch between
saying "divided by" and "over" when you write or say a division problem.

- **Ask open-ended questions**. To check your students' understanding and encourage them to
think critically, ask them questions that require more than a yes or no answer. For example, you
can ask them to explain how they solved a problem, why they chose a certain strategy, what
they noticed or wondered about a model or a pattern, or how they can apply what they learned
to a real-life situation.

- **Provide feedback and scaffolding**. To help your students improve their skills and
confidence, give them specific and timely feedback on their work. Praise their efforts and
achievements, and point out their errors or misconceptions. Provide hints or suggestions on
how they can correct or improve their work, or guide them to use the resources available to
them, such as manipulatives, charts, or peers. Don't give them the answers right away, but help
them find their own way to the solution.

- **Encourage collaboration and discussion**. To foster a positive and supportive learning

environment, invite your students to work together and share their ideas with each other. You
can use cooperative learning strategies, such as think-pair-share, jigsaw, or numbered heads
together, to assign roles and tasks to your students and have them cooperate and communicate
with their partners or groups. You can also use math talk moves, such as revoicing, repeating,
reasoning, adding on, or agreeing/disagreeing, to facilitate productive mathematical
conversations among your students.
