Today’s Adventure: Divide by 7! – What is division? – Division as sharing equally – If 7 friends share 28 apples, how many does each get? – Steps to divide by 7 – Use repeated subtraction: 28-7, 21-7, 14-7, until 0 – Importance of division skills – Division helps in everyday situations like sharing treats fairly | This slide introduces the concept of division to third-grade students, framing it as an adventure to make learning fun. Begin by explaining division as a way to share things equally among a number of people or groups. Use relatable examples, such as sharing apples among friends, to illustrate the concept. Walk through the steps of dividing by 7 using repeated subtraction, which is a method they may find easier to understand. Emphasize the importance of division in everyday life, such as dividing up snacks or toys, to help them see the value of what they’re learning. Encourage students to think of their own examples and to practice with different numbers to become comfortable with the process.

Understanding Division: Divide by 7 – Division: Splitting into equal groups – Division is opposite of multiplication – Example: 7 ÷ 7 equals 1 – If you have 7 apples and split them into 7 groups, you get 1 apple per group. – Practice dividing numbers by 7 – Try 14 ÷ 7 or 21 ÷ 7 for more practice. | This slide introduces the concept of division to third-grade students, explaining it as the process of splitting numbers into equal parts or groups. Emphasize that division is the reverse operation of multiplication, which they may already be familiar with. Use simple examples like dividing 7 by 7 to illustrate the concept, ensuring that students understand that each group ends up with one item when something is divided by itself. Encourage students to practice with other numbers divisible by 7 to reinforce the concept. Provide additional examples and practice problems to work on as homework or in class.

Dividing by 7 – Understanding division by 7 – Splitting into 7 equal groups – Imagine dividing 7 apples among 7 baskets – Equal items in each group – Every basket gets 1 apple – Sharing 7 cookies example – If you had 7 cookies, each friend gets 1 cookie | This slide introduces the concept of division by focusing on the number 7. Start by explaining that division is a way of splitting things up evenly. Use tangible examples, like dividing apples into baskets, to help students visualize the process. Emphasize that each group must have the same number of items to be fair. Relate the concept to a scenario they can understand, such as sharing cookies with friends, to make the idea of ‘equal groups’ more concrete. In class, you can use physical objects like counters or draw pictures to further illustrate the point. Encourage students to think of other situations where they might divide things into 7 equal groups.

Let’s Practice Division by 7! – Understanding 21 ÷ 7 – Sharing 21 apples among 7 friends – If we divide 21 apples by 7 friends, how many apples does each friend get? – Each friend gets an equal amount – We want to make sure every friend gets the same number of apples. – Counting together to find the answer – We’ll use objects or drawings to help us count in groups of 7. | This slide is an interactive class activity designed to help students understand the concept of division by using a relatable example. Start by explaining the division problem 21 ÷ 7. Use visuals like pictures of apples and drawings to represent the 21 apples being shared equally among 7 friends. Encourage the students to count aloud together as you divide the apples into groups of 7, reinforcing the concept that division is about sharing equally. This hands-on approach helps solidify the understanding of division by 7 and prepares them for more complex problems. Make sure to walk around the classroom to assist any students who may need additional help with counting or understanding the division process.

Division Tricks with 7 – Skip count by 7s for answers – Counting in 7s helps find how many times 7 fits in a number – Use multiplication facts – Knowing 7x tables makes division by 7 easier – Ask: 7 times what equals our number? – To divide a number by 7, think what you multiply by 7 to get it | This slide introduces students to strategies for dividing by 7. Encourage them to use skip counting by 7s as a way to see how many times 7 can be included in the dividend. Relate division to multiplication by reminding them that if they know their 7 times table, they can easily find the answer to a division problem by thinking of it in reverse. For example, if they know that 7 times 6 is 42, then they can figure out that 42 divided by 7 is 6. Provide several examples and possibly a short in-class activity where students can practice these strategies. This will help solidify their understanding and recall of division facts involving the number 7.

Word Problems: Divide by 7 – Apply division to real life – Use everyday scenarios to practice dividing by 7 – Read the problem thoroughly – Find the total and groups – Look for the total amount and how many groups it should be split into – Divide total by 7 – Take the total number and share it into 7 equal parts | This slide is aimed at helping students understand how to approach division word problems, specifically dividing by 7. Start by explaining that division is a way to share things equally and can be used in many real-life situations, like sharing 7 apples among 7 children. Encourage students to read the problem carefully to understand what is being asked. They should identify the total number of items and the number of groups they need to divide these items into. In this case, since we are focusing on dividing by 7, they will be looking for situations where items are being divided into 7 equal groups. Provide examples and guide them through the process of dividing the total by 7 to find out how many items each group gets. For instance, if there are 28 cookies and 7 friends, how many cookies does each friend get? (Answer: 4 cookies each).

Group Activity: Division Relay – Form groups of 7 students – Receive a set of division flashcards – Take turns solving flashcards – Solve the card, then pass it on – Race to finish first! – The fastest group to solve all cards wins! | This activity is designed to encourage teamwork and reinforce the concept of dividing by 7. Divide the class into groups of 7 and distribute a set of division flashcards to each group. Students will take turns quickly solving a division problem on a flashcard before passing it to the next teammate. The goal is to be the first group to finish all flashcards correctly. For the teacher: Prepare flashcards with division problems involving the number 7. Monitor the groups to ensure fair play and accurate calculations. Offer assistance if a student struggles with a problem. Possible variations of the activity could include timed rounds, mixed operation flashcards, or a ‘sudden death’ round where the last card determines the winner.

Homework Challenge: Mastering Division by 7 – Practice dividing numbers by 7 – Try dividing 14, 21, 28, and so on by 7 – Finish the ‘Division by 7’ worksheet – Use the worksheet to test your skills – Get ready for a mini-quiz – Review your worksheet to prepare | This homework is aimed at reinforcing the students’ ability to divide numbers by 7, an essential skill in understanding division. Provide a worksheet that includes a variety of problems, some of which should be straightforward, such as 14 ÷ 7, and others that are more challenging, like 49 ÷ 7 or 63 ÷ 7. Encourage students to use different strategies they’ve learned in class, such as repeated subtraction, using multiplication facts, or drawing pictures. The mini-quiz will assess their understanding and ability to divide by 7. It’s important to remind students to check their work for accuracy. For the next class, prepare a mini-quiz with similar problems to those on the worksheet to evaluate their progress and understanding.

Great Work on Division by 7! – Congratulations on mastering division by 7! – Recall the steps and helpful tricks – Like ‘skip counting’ and ‘using multiplication facts’ – Practice is key – continue at home – Try dividing different numbers by 7 each day – Ready for more math adventures? | This slide is meant to congratulate the students on their hard work and to remind them of the importance of practice in mastering division by 7. Emphasize the strategies taught during the lesson, such as skip counting and using multiplication facts to find the answers. Encourage them to practice with different numbers at home to strengthen their skills. Acknowledge their progress and motivate them for further learning in mathematics. As a teacher, you can suggest parents to help their children by giving them daily simple division tasks or incorporating fun division games.
