Lesson Plan: Dividing Four-Digit Numbers by One-Digit Numbers
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to divide four-digit numbers by one-digit numbers by using area models, by breaking apart the number, or by using the standard algorithm.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- partition four-digit numbers in order to make them simpler to divide by single digits,
- calculate partial quotients to solve division problems,
- use models (part–whole models, area models, and place value counters) to represent divisions of four-digit numbers by single digits, including those with remainders,
- divide four-digit numbers by single digits, including in calculations that require regrouping.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- dividing three-digit numbers by one-digit numbers,
- 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.
