Today’s Adventure: Divide by 8! – What is division? – Division as sharing equally – If you have 8 cookies and 8 friends, how many does each get? – Steps to divide by 8 – Use repeated subtraction: 8, 16, 24, until you reach your number. – Importance of division skills – Division helps in everyday tasks like sharing and organizing. | This slide introduces the concept of division to third-grade students, framing it as an exciting adventure. Begin by explaining division as a way of sharing things equally among a certain number of people or groups. Use relatable examples, such as dividing cookies among friends, to illustrate this point. Then, guide students through the process of dividing by 8 using repeated subtraction, which is a strategy they can visualize and understand. Emphasize the importance of division in daily life, such as sharing equally and solving problems efficiently. Encourage students to think of situations where they have to share things equally to make the concept more relatable. The goal is to make students comfortable with the idea of division as a useful skill.

Understanding Division: Divide by 8 – Division means equal parts – It’s like ‘fair sharing’ – Example: Sharing 8 cookies – If 4 friends share 8 cookies equally, how do we divide? – Each friend gets how many? – 8 cookies divided by 4 friends equals 2 cookies each | This slide introduces the concept of division to third-grade students by relating it to the idea of ‘fair sharing’. Start by explaining that division is a way to split things up evenly. Use the example of sharing cookies to make it relatable. Show them that if we have 8 cookies and 4 friends, we can divide the cookies so that each friend gets an equal amount. This will lead to understanding that 8 divided by 4 equals 2. Encourage students to think of other examples of ‘fair sharing’ in their daily lives. The goal is to ensure they grasp the concept of division as an equal distribution before moving on to more complex problems.

Dividing by 8 – Understanding division by 8 – Division by 8 splits things into 8 groups. – Creating 8 equal groups – Each of the 8 groups gets the same amount. – Equal sharing among friends – Imagine 8 friends sharing snacks evenly. – Division as fair distribution | This slide introduces the concept of division by 8 to third-grade students. Start by explaining that division is a way of splitting things into smaller, equal groups. Use relatable examples, such as dividing a set of crayons or snacks among 8 friends, to help them visualize the process. Emphasize that each group must have the same number of items for the division to be fair. Encourage students to think of other scenarios where they might need to divide things by 8 and share their ideas with the class. Provide practice problems where students can apply this concept by dividing various items into 8 groups.

Let’s Practice Division by 8! – Example problem: 24 ÷ 8 = ? – Visualize 24 objects – Imagine 24 apples to share – Divide into 8 equal groups – Make 8 groups with the same number of apples – Count objects per group – Each group has 3 apples | This slide is an interactive class activity designed to help students understand the concept of division by visualizing and dividing objects into equal groups. Start with the example problem 24 ÷ 8 and ask students to picture 24 items, such as apples, that they need to share equally among 8 friends. Guide them through the process of creating 8 equal groups and then counting how many items are in each group to find the answer. Encourage students to draw this out on paper or use physical objects like counters to aid their understanding. The goal is for them to see that each group ends up with 3 objects, demonstrating that 24 divided by 8 equals 3. This hands-on approach solidifies their comprehension of division as an equal distribution.

Division Tricks with 8 – Skip count by 8s to divide – Counting in 8s helps find answers quickly. – Use repeated subtraction – Subtract 8 until you get to 0. How many times did you subtract? – Reverse multiplication facts – If you know 8 x 4 = 32, then 32 ÷ 8 equals? – Practice with examples – Try 56 ÷ 8 or 64 ÷ 8 to see these tricks in action! | This slide introduces students to various strategies for dividing by 8. Start by demonstrating how to skip count by 8s, which can be a fun and effective way to find the answer to a division problem. Then, show how repeated subtraction is another method to reach the answer, by subtracting 8 from the total until 0 is reached, counting how many subtractions were made. Next, explain how knowing multiplication facts can help with division; if they know 8 multiplied by a number equals another number, they can reverse this to find the division answer. Provide examples for the students to work through using these tricks, such as 56 ÷ 8 and 64 ÷ 8, and encourage them to practice with other numbers. This will help solidify their understanding of division by 8.

Dividing by 8 in Real Life – Sharing pizza with friends – 8 slices for 8 friends, how many slices each? – Weeks of summer camp – 8 weeks of camp, how many days total? – Crayons in each box – 64 crayons, 8 boxes, how many in one? – Understanding division | This slide aims to help students understand the concept of division by using relatable real-life examples. Start by discussing how to share 8 slices of pizza equally among 8 friends, which will introduce the concept of ‘one whole’ or ‘one slice per person.’ Then, move on to dividing 8 weeks of summer camp into individual days to help them grasp the idea of breaking down larger numbers. The crayon example will further solidify their understanding by dividing a total quantity into equal groups. Encourage students to visualize these scenarios and use objects or drawings to represent the division problems. This will help them to internalize the concept of division by 8 and see its practical applications.

Class Activity: Division Relay! – Form groups of 8 students – Each group receives 24 stickers – Divide stickers equally among group – How many stickers does each student get? – Race to complete the division – Fastest group to divide correctly wins! | This activity is designed to provide hands-on experience with division, specifically dividing by 8. It will help students understand equal distribution and reinforce the concept of division as sharing equally. Before starting, explain the rules clearly and ensure each group has exactly 24 stickers. Monitor the groups as they work to ensure fair play and correct division. Possible variations of the activity could include using different numbers of stickers or having some groups work with different division problems to accommodate various skill levels. After the activity, discuss with the class how they figured out the division and what strategies they used to divide the stickers equally.

Conclusion & Review: Mastering Division by 8 – Celebrate your division skills – Recall tricks and examples – Like skip counting by 8’s or using multiplication facts – Commit to regular practice – Try dividing different numbers by 8 every day – Aim for division perfection | As we wrap up our lesson on dividing by 8, it’s important to acknowledge the students’ hard work and progress. Remind them of the strategies we’ve covered, such as using related multiplication facts (8 times tables) or skip counting by 8’s to find the answers. Encourage daily practice to reinforce their skills, as consistent practice is key to mastering division. Provide a variety of practice problems and possibly incorporate fun division games to keep the students engaged. Remember to praise their efforts and improvements to build their confidence in their division abilities.
