Session 13: 2 Digit & 1 Digit Division

Session Title

Division 2-digit & 1-digit 

Objective 

By the end of the class, students will be able to:


1. Divide 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers accurately 


2. Frame and solve real-life problems using division.


3. Apply the six-step method to find solutions

Concept 

Basic and intermediate division

Materials required 

Flash card, division race card

Methodology 

Step-by-step progression from simple to complex division problems.

Session Duration 

 120 minutes

Introduction Activity:

Division Race (30 minutes)

Objective: Compete to solve as many two-digit division problems as possible in a set time.

How to Play:

  • Set up a list of two-digit division problems.
  • Players start at the same time and solve the problems as quickly as they can.
  • For each correct answer, players get a point.
  • After a set time (e.g., 15 minutes), the player with the most points wins.

Materials: A timer, a list of two-digit division problems, and paper or a whiteboard to keep score.



Problem-solving method (six steps) (30 minutes)

Problem- A shopkeeper has 72 pencils. He packs them in boxes, each holding 8 pencils. How many boxes can be fill?

Step 1 comprehension

Explanation:

  • Understand the scenario. What is the situation about?

The shopkeeper has 300 pencils, 20 per box.

  • Step 2: Find the problem  -What do we need to find?

How many boxes can be filled?

  • Step 3: data collection -Gather the numbers

 total= box capacity =20

total pencils = 300, pencils per box 20

  • Step 4: equation - frame the division:

Work-  300÷20=?

  • Step 5: operation -perfume the division:300 ÷20=15

Work-300÷20=15

  • Step 6 solution  -final answer with clarity

Work-20 boxes can be filled

  •  Practice activity  30 minutes 

1. A library has 72 books and 12 shelves. How many books per shelf?

2. You have 120 stickers and want to place 12 stickers on each page. How many pages are needed?

What steps do we follow in solving a problem using division? (Teacher asks)

Solve: 

               450÷15=?

               540÷18=?

               672÷24=?

Demo time (30 minutes)

Division Relay Race 

How to Play: Write a series of division problems (involving 1-digit or 2-digit numbers) on the board or on paper. Divide the players into teams, and each player must solve one problem before passing the task to the next teammate. The first team to solve all the problems correctly wins.

The Problems should be written in small paper and have in the hands to the teacher  

Follow-up tasks

  • Encourage them to practice division tables to improve their speed
  • Create and solve division problems with the step method or the division race game

Expected learning outcome 

  • Applying Division in Word Problems:
  • Solving real-world problems using division, such as distributing items equally, dividing quantities into smaller parts, or calculating rates.

Skill building 

  • Understand division basics (dividend ÷ divisor = quotient).
  • Practice long division step-by-step.
  • Practice regularly with worksheets and games.
