Learning by Doing

Objective: To reinforce the concept of division in a play way

method.

Materials required: Ice trays/egg trays, small items – beads/
seeds, division problem slips

Procedure:

Š The teacher will prepare some paper slips and write a division problem on

each one. For example,

20 ÷ 4 = ? 15 ÷ 5 = ?

18 ÷ 7 = ? 30 ÷ 6 = ?

 Arrange the materials such as trays, beads and problem slips on the table.

 Divide the class in groups of 2–3 students each and invite them one by one.

 Each group will pick up a slip. They will try to find the answer by distributing
the number of beads (equal to dividend) into the shells of the tray. Suppose

a group chooses the slip with problem 18 ÷ 7 = ?

 They will count 18 beads and place them aside.

 Then they will begin by putting 1 bead in each shell from numbers 1 to 7.

After doing so, they will still be left with some beads.

 The students will continue to put one bead in each slot from numbers 1 to 7.

 When no more beads/insufficient beads are left, the students will complete

the division fact. In this case, 18 ÷ 7 = 2 beads in each shell and 4 beads left
over. That is, 18 ÷ 7 = 2 R 4.
