Session 11: DIVISION

Session Title

DIVISION

Objective 

By the end of this session, students will be able to:


  • Understand the concept of division as equal sharing and repeated subtraction.
  • Solve division problems using practical and engaging activities.
  • Develop problem-solving, logical thinking, and teamwork skills

Topics

1. Understanding division as equal sharing equally

2. Solving division problems using a number line

Material Required 
    1. Chalk & Board
    2. Small objects like beads, pebbles, or paper cut-outs
    3. Number cards with division problems
    4. Hula hoops or bowls for grouping activities

Methodology 
  • Game-Based Learning: Learning through fun and interactive activities.
  • Experiential Learning: Relating division to real-life situations for better understanding.

Session Duration

12090 minutes

Introduction Activity 

GAMEGame TIMETime –: "Pass the Share" (2015 Minutes)

How to Play:

  1. Arrange students in small groups (4–5 students per group).
  2. Give each group a set of 20 objects (like pebbles or buttons).
  3. Call out a number and ask students to divide the objects among their group members.
  4. Students must distribute the objects fairly and announce how many each person gets
  5. If there are leftover objects (remainders), they must explain what to do with them.

What is Division? ( 2015 minutes )

  • Division is a mathematical operation used to split a number into equal groups or find how many times one number fits into another.
  • It is the opposite of multiplication.

Explain with Real-Life Example: If we have 12 apples and we want to share them equally among 4 friends, each friend will get 3 apples (12 ÷ 4 = 3).

Main topic activity 

How to play (4030 minutes)

1. Set up

  • Divide students into two or more teams.
  • Each team forms a straight line.
  • Place a set of division problem flashcards (e.g., "20 ÷ 5", "15 ÷ 3") in a basket at the front.

2. Game Rules 

  • The first player from each team runs to the basket, picks a flashcard, and reads the problem aloud.
  • They solve the problem on the board (or on a sheet of paper).
  • Once the teacher verifies the answer, they run back and tag the next teammate.
  • The next player repeats the process

3. Winning criteria

The team that correctly solves the most division problems within the time limit wins

Demo time- word problems  (4010 minutes )

How many slices will each friend get?

2.A clownsClowns has 30 balloons and wants to give them equally

 

5 children. How many balloons will each child get?

3.A box contains 24 chocolates. If each packet hold 6 chocolates, how many packets?
