Tutoring-Lesson Plan I
Tutoring-Lesson Plan I
I can represent and solve division word problems with physical materials or pictures (not
arrays) to show that groups of equal quantities are being formed when the problems are
measurement division word problems corresponding to x (2-5) = (6-9) and remainder (1-9).
Materials Needed:
Dice
Counter Pieces
List of original word problems
Recording Sheets
All attached sheets that go with the Sea Creature game
Lesson
All activities need to focus on helping the child develop and/or extend her/his conceptual
understanding of the mathematical topic by engaging (concept of division with remainders)
the child in reasoning and problem solving.
Word Problems
1. Michael was at Michigan adventures with his friends. They all wanted to ride
Shivering Timbers but there was only four seats per cart. If there was ten
friends total, how many different carts would they need to fit all ten people on
the ride?
2. Michael and his friends were playing computer games one day after school.
They could only play for 46 minutes total. Michael had 4 friends over including
himself which makes for 5 kids playing the games. If each kid wanted the same
amount of playing time, how many minutes could each kid play for?
4. Michael was waiting on the field for the start of his soccer game. There were a
total of thirteen people on the field including him. If there is six players from
each team on the field, how many teams are present for the game? How many
extra people are there?
136= 2 teams present for the game and there is 1 extra person on the field.
Extension If the child needs more challenging word problems then I will try to
either make the wording more difficult, or I will use less words so that the problem
is tougher to interpret.
Present at least one specific alternative problem to show this modification.)
Activity Description
In this activity the child will take a few scoops of counter pieces. He will then
count out how many he has and record that number. Then he will role a die.
The number that he rolls tells him how many counters to put in each group. He
will then make as many equal-size groups as he can. He will record how many
groups he was able to make and how many counters he put in each group. If
any counters are left over, those will be recorded too. Then he will put the
counters back in the container and repeat the process a few more times.
Activity Description
In this activity the child has a variety of cut out sea creatures in front of him in a
pile. He will also have a pile of counters in front of him as well. He will roll a 1-6 die
and he will put this amount of sea creatures spread out in front of him. He will then
grab a random amount of counters and count them out. Then he will begin to
spread them evenly, one at a time, throughout each sea creature until the counters
are gone. Once that is done, he will record on the recording sheet provided how
many counters each sea creature was able to have and he will also record if there
were any counters left over.
sea creatures only gets a small amount of counters. This will allow the child to work
with a more noticeable amount of pieces in each group. Also I could make the sea
creatures into something that is more relatable for the child, in this case it would be
different types of sports.
Extension If this activity isnt difficult enough for the child I will make it so that
instead of recording the amount of counters left over, the child will have to figure
out how many equal counters are needed to be evenly spread between each sea
creature without having any left over.
