4FN10 – Math – What is Division?

How do FreeNode lessons work?

FreeNodes are instructor-led schooling lessons with a unique approach, granting you the freedom to independently teach using a personalized lesson plan. This autonomy enables you to tailor your lessons to suit students’ individual needs, learning styles, and interests.

To use a FreeNode, read the provided class outline & follow the formatting provided for each class. Make sure to touch on the Theocratic Connection in each class. Follow the outline closely so it is aligned with our main at-home curriculum.

How Do I Use the FreeNode?

Read this lesson plan before class to familiarize yourself with the ideas and concepts you’ll be teaching the students. You may print this page out if you need to use it as a reference point during live classes.

This lesson is a guide, but feel free to expand on the content or decrease/increase what you teach depending on the learning levels of the students in your class or the amount of time you have to cover the material.

Can I show videos in FN classes?

Yes, feel free to include additional material to supplement the class lesson material. Videos, Physical Objects, Games, Activities, etc. are okay to share in live classes.

Videos should have no advertisements or logos and should be viewed by you before showing them to the students to ensure no offensive or questionable content is included.

The video should make up only 1-3 minutes of the live class and should not take the place of instructor-led instruction. Videos should be supplementary only.

How do bookmarks work?

Bookmarks help you keep track of lessons you’re going to teach in future live classes. The bookmarks you see are for all your bookmarked lessons across all grades.

You can bookmark a lesson by visiting the lesson you want to bookmark and clicking the “bookmark” button in the bookmark section.

You can remove a single bookmark by visiting a lesson you’ve bookmarked and clicking the “bookmark” button again to unbookmark it.

You can clear all of your bookmarks by clicking the “clear all bookmarks” button. Be careful, this will erase all of your bookmarks.

N/A

Activity 1 – Division and Subtraction (10 minutes):

Draw parallels between division and subtraction by showing how they are related.
Demonstrate how division can be seen as repeated subtraction.

Activity 2 – Solving Division Problems (15 minutes):

Introduce different methods to solve division problems, such as:
Equal Groups: Divide objects into equal groups and count how many are in each group.
Repeated Subtraction: Use subtraction to find how many times a number can be subtracted from another number.
Number Line: Use a number line to represent division as a process of counting in equal parts.

Activity 3 – Parts of a Division Problem (10 minutes):

Break down a division problem into its essential parts: dividend, divisor, and quotient.
Define each part and explain their roles in a division problem.

Conclusion (3 minutes):

Recap the main points about division, its relationship with subtraction, and the different methods to solve division problems.
Emphasize the importance of understanding the parts of a division problem to solve it accurately.

Assessment:

Informally assess student understanding during class discussions and activities.
Ask students to individually solve a few practice division problems using the methods learned.
