Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.

Remarks

Fluency Expectations or Examples of Culminating Standards

Students fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm. This is the culminating standard for several years’ worth of work with division of whole numbers.
General Information
Subject Area: Mathematics
Grade: 6
Domain-Subdomain: The Number System
Cluster: Level 1: Recall
Cluster: Compute fluently with multi-digit numbers and find common factors and multiples. (Additional Cluster) -

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

Lesson Plans

Cracking the Code: A Division Challenge:

In this lesson, students will use their knowledge of division and division strategies to solve problems that have been written in a code where numbers are replaced with symbols. The students are challenged to find out how the traditional algorithm strategy works and how it compares to other strategies they already know. Students are also charged with creating a list of mathematical tools that help make solving division problems easier.

I want a cell phone:

Students develop a procedure to select a cell phone based on qualities they think their parents value in a cell phone. Students present their solution in writing to a marketing company, who wishes to use the results to market cell phones to parents of elementary students.

Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. Click here to learn more about MEAs and how they can transform your classroom.

Dividing Decimals Investigations:

In this introductory lesson, students test how the basic operations performed on the dividend and divisor affect the quotient of a pair of numbers. Students then conclude whether the results of their trials can be applied to solve problems with a decimal divisor.
