Learning Objectives

Indicator: B4.1.2.4.1 - Determine basic division fact up to 81

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

  1. State division facts up to 81 from memory or through quick mental calculation (e.g., 72 ÷ 9 = 8).
  2. Use the relationship between multiplication and division to find quotients (e.g., use 7 × 6 = 42 to find 42 ÷ 6 = 7).
  3. Apply divisibility tests for 2, 3, 4 and 5 to decide whether a number can be divided exactly without a remainder.
  4. Play a division game using dice or cards to practise basic division facts up to 81 with speed and accuracy.
  5. Justify their answers by explaining the thinking or strategy they used to work out a division fact.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

E.g. 1. Investigate numbers that are multiples of 2, 3, 4 and 5. How do you know a number is divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 5 (This is also known as the divisibility test).
E.g. 2. Draw a 6 by 6 multiplication chart and use it as a game board to play the 3-in-a-line game with a pair of dice or playing cards. Players take turns in throwing a one dice and mark (or cover) a number that can be divided by the results (i.e. a quotient). The winner is the one who obtains three numbers in a line.
