cognitiveR U Ap An E C*

Learners will be able to:

Use their knowledge of long and basic division to create a problem

Relate division to their personal life to create their own word problem
Assess their own work using a rubric
Create a clear problem that classmates can understand
Modify work according to peer suggestions
Compute problems of their classmates

Common Core standards (or GLCEs if not available in Common Core) addressed:
CC.4NBT.6 - Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies
based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain
the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
CCSS.ELA.L.W.4.2.D - Use precise language and domain-specific vocabulary to inform about or explain the topic.
CCSS.ELA.L.W.4.2.D - Develop the topic with facts, definitions, concrete details, quotations, or other information and examples
related to the topic.

(Note: Write as many as needed. Indicate taxonomy levels and connections to applicable national or state standards. If an objective applies to particular learners
write the name(s) of the learner(s) to whom it applies.)
*remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, create

Discuss division in real life

practice

The problem should include at least 4 parts.

One of the parts should include a remainder, they
also can include estimation or other math processes
weve done in class! (But try to keep division as
your main focus)
Give clear how to guidelines on the ways to
create a problem
Present my own problem
I love to listen to music on the way to and
from Ohio!

My drive is 5.5 hours.

Theres 60 minutes in an hour, so all
together I drive for 331.8 minutes
If a song is 3 minutes, how many songs
can I listen to on my drive?
o 110.6 songs
If most of my albums have 9 songs? How
many CDs should I bring?
o 12.2
o What should I do with my
remainder?
Round Up! Take 13 CDs
Each week I drive to and from
GRCES 4 times. This is a total of 8 trips
per week. Each trip is 12 minutes. By the
time I am done being an aide in this
classroom, I will have come a total of 34
days (doesnt it seem like more???) I
listen to CDs on my way to and from
school, but any other time Im driving, I
listen to the radio (I dont want to listen to
the same CD twice)
How much time do I spend driving to and
from school each week?
o 80 minutes
How many songs can I listen to each
week?
o 26.67songs
How many albums should I have for each
week?
o 2.9 albums
Could you think of a way to calculate how
many albums I would need for the entire
time Im at GRCES?
o 4 times for 34 days
o 3.3 songs per day
o 3.3x34=112
o

Pass out rubric

Work out the problem together

with students
Move to sit with preassigned
partner

min

Give students 15 minutes to work on their

own

Encourage them to really think about their

problem! When you can, use big
dividends! You know how to!

Put students in pairs create pairs beforehand so

they can work together
