Lesson Plan: Dividing a Multidigit Number by a One-Digit Number
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to divide a five- or six-digit number by a one-digit number by breaking apart the number or by using the standard algorithm.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- partition multi-digit numbers in order to make them simpler to divide by a single digit,
- use the written long division method to divide five- and six-digit numbers by a single digit,
- apply knowledge to solve word problems that involve dividing five- and six-digit numbers by a single digit,
- choose the most appropriate strategy to divide numbers.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- dividing up to four-digit numbers by one-digit numbers with and without remainders,
- extending known multiplication facts up to to related facts involving multiples of 10 and 100.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- dividing by two-digit numbers,
- representing remainders as fractions or decimals.
