Division

Learning Objective :
5 6 21 30
Practising division by playing games.
2 4 5 8
What You Need :
3 9 23 27
Paper, pencils, fact family strips
1 4 5 20
Procedure :
3 5 1 15
Step 1 : Cut paper and make several (20–30) “fact family
3 6 15 18
strips” that contain four numbers— three numbers in
a fact family and one number that doesn’t belong to 2 3 5 10

the fact family. 7 8 56 71

For example ; In a fact family strip, the numbers are
5, 8, 3 and 40. Three of them i.e. 5, 8 and 40 are a fact family because

5 × 8 = 40, 8 × 5 = 40, 40 ÷ 5 = 8, 40 ÷ 8 = 5 and 3 doesn’t belong to
the fact family.

Write down the fact family and ask your partner to tell you the
multiplication and division facts that can be made with the numbers.

Step2 : You have a group of four such numbers. Your partner has to correctly

identify the number that doesn’t belong to the fact family and then state
a division fact using the numbers in the fact family.

Step3 : Set a timer for 2 minutes and begin working through as many “fact
family strips” as possible in two minutes.

At the end of two minutes, count the number of strips in which your

partner correctly identified the fact family and stated a division fact
using the numbers.

Step4 : Now, try to beat your partner's record.

For example if your partner identified 8 fact families in 2 minutes, try to
identify 9 or 10 fact families in 2 minutes.

Shorten the time to one minute and repeat the process.
