This number sense lesson focuses on solving division problems that have a remainder. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify the dividend and the divisor. Then, they solve for the division problem by following the basic steps of division (divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down) and writing in the remainder. Finally, students interpret the quotient and remainder. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number sense lesson focuses on dividing decimal numbers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students change the problem into long division form, if necessary, and move the decimal point in the divisor to change it to a whole number, if necessary. Then, move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places. Finally, they divide the decimal numbers and put a decimal point in the quotient above the decimal point in the dividend. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items and eight flash cards on changing to long division form.

This lesson focuses on the fluency of dividing a unit fraction by a whole number. Although the purpose of the lesson is to teach the process, there are opportunities for students to conceptually examine, read, and write about the structure of a unit fraction being divided by a whole number.
