Learning Objectives
- Students will complete division facts up to 10.
- Students will use multiplication facts to verify division answers.
- Students will understand the relationship between division and multiplication.
Introduction
Begin the lesson by reviewing basic division concepts, explaining that division is the process of finding out how many equal groups can be made from a certain number. Use simple examples like 6÷2=3 to illustrate how division works. Introduce the goal of the lesson: completing division facts up to 10 and verifying the answers using multiplication.
Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling
Present the division fact 12÷3 on the board. First, demonstrate how to solve it by recalling that division is related to multiplication. Ask students to think about what number multiplied by 3 gives 12. Write out the related multiplication fact 3×4=12, and then show that 12÷3=4. Emphasize the importance of knowing multiplication tables to make division easier. Reinforce this by showing a small table of division facts for dividing by 3.

Guided Practice
Hand out the TeachTastic Worksheet Pack for Division Facts to 10. Work through the first few problems as a class, guiding students to solve each division fact by recalling related multiplication facts. Encourage students to use multiplication charts if they need help. Additionally, use a number line to visually represent the division process, showing how 12÷3 can be seen as counting how many times you can subtract 3 from 12.
Independent Practice
Allow students to complete additional division facts in the TeachTastic Worksheet Pack independently. They should solve each division problem, verify their answer with a related multiplication fact, and write down the quotient. Circulate the room to offer guidance and ensure that students are correctly solving and verifying the division facts.
Differentiation
Support
- Provide additional practice with division tables or charts for students who need reinforcement of basic division facts.
- Offer visual aids, such as a number line or arrays, to help students understand the division process.
- Pair struggling students with a peer tutor who can guide them through the steps of solving and verifying the division facts.
Extension
- Challenge students to solve division problems with remainders or larger numbers using the same methods.
- Introduce word problems that involve division facts up to 10 to apply their skills in real-life scenarios.
- Explore the concept of division with fractions or decimals for advanced students.
Assessment
Use the completed worksheets from the TeachTastic Worksheet Pack to assess students’ understanding. Check for accuracy in solving the division facts and in verifying their answers using multiplication. Review their exit tickets to ensure they grasp the relationship between division and multiplication.
Review and closing
Summarize the key points of the lesson by revisiting how division and multiplication are related and the importance of knowing multiplication facts to make division easier. Discuss how these skills are foundational for more advanced math concepts. Allow students to ask any final questions and clarify any areas of confusion.
Misconceptions
- Misconception: Students may think that division always results in a whole number. Correction: Emphasize that while the focus today is on whole number division, division can sometimes result in remainders.
- Misconception: Students might confuse the divisor and dividend, leading to incorrect division. Correction: Reinforce the correct order of numbers in a division sentence and how it relates to multiplication.
- Misconception: Students might assume they can divide without using multiplication to check their work. Correction: Stress the importance of using multiplication as a tool to verify division answers.
