Lesson: Dividing a Two-Digit Number by a One-Digit Number: Remainders Mathematics • 4th Grade

In this lesson, we will learn how to find the quotients and remainders of a division operation of two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

use models to divide a two-digit number by a one-digit number and record the quotient and the remainder,
partition the dividend in multiple ways and choose the method they find easiest.

David worked out 37 divided by 5 using a number line.

He made 7 jumps of 5 and one jump of 2.

He says, “37 divided by 5 is 7 remainder 2.”

Use the number line to work out 33 divided by 5.

Q3:
