Introduction- Have children stand on the carpet all together. Ask them how
many students there are in the class. (20) Have them separate themselves into 2, 4,
6, 10 groups. Ask the children how many students are in each group after they group
themselves according to my instruction.
Ex: 4 groups 6 students in each group 20 students all together
I tell them that they just did division. Because 20 students all together
divided by 4 groups equals 6 students in each group. Write the
number sentence 20/4=6.
Have them go through 2,4,6,10 groups after the example and have them turn and
talk with a partner about what the number sentence should be.
Pass out the plastic bags to each partnership. Students will be working with the
partner next to them at their tables. Pass out worksheet.
