Title of Lesson: Divisibility

Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills/Standards:

a. 3) Students in Grade 2 are expected to perform their work without the use
of calculators.
(6) Number and operations. The student applies mathematical process
standards to connect repeated addition and subtraction to multiplication and
division situations that involve equal groupings and shares. The student is
expected to:
(A) model, create, and describe contextual multiplication situations in
which equivalent sets of concrete objects are joined; and
(B) model, create, and describe contextual division situations in which a
set of concrete objects is separated into equivalent sets.

Objective/Purpose: The purpose of today’s lesson is to introduce and to teach

divisibility. The goal is to get every student to understand divisibility well enough
to complete the assigned classwork and homework.

Introduce Lesson: The students are already familiar with division and
multiplication, but as a warm up I would like you to re-enforce these two
concepts. The way I would like you to do this is by physically demonstrating
multiplication and division. Get all the students to stand up in a circle. And say to
them “Show me how much 20 ÷ 2 is” Guide the students to pair up and form 2
groups with 10 students in each. After that guide them through one more
example, so they understand what you are asking them to do. Once they have
understood the instructions do the warm up problems I have prepared for you
below. (This demonstration should only take 10-15 minutes.)
* Feel free to
improvise your
own problems,
but make sure
they do not
have a
remainder and
that the
numbers
match the total
amount of
students in
class.
Warm up problems for division:

“20 ÷ 5” =There should be 5 groups of 4 students

“ 9 ÷ 3” =There should be 3 groups of 3 students
“14 ÷ 7” =There should be 2 groups of 7 students

Warm up problems for multiplication:

“If I have 10 cupcakes and want to share them with 5 friends how cupcakes do
each friend get?”
= There should be 5 groups of 2 students
“If I split one year into 4 equal parts how many months is there in each part?”
= There should be 4 groups of 3 students
“How many eggs are in half a dozen if I split it into two parts?”
= There should be 2 groups of 3 students.

Example:
Lesson:

First, tell the students that today they will be learning about divisibility and play
the video below

After playing the video pass out the notes I have provided and read the divisibility
poster (above) to the students. Explain to them that divisibility is when a number
can be evenly divided and has zero as its remainder. Then go through each rule
and explain it using the examples. While you are reading through the poster they
should be filling in their notes. (I provided an answer key of the notes for you)

After finishing the notes handout go ahead and give out the worksheet. Do the
first problem together with the class and then allow them to work independently.
While they work walk around the classroom to answer any questions they may
have. After 20 minutes ask the class if they have finished. It is okay if not all the
students have finished, because you will complete it with them as a class. Start
going through the worksheet with the students. Get them to participate by calling
on each student to give you the answers. Pay attention to which students give
the correct answers and to the ones who give the incorrect answers. This is
important because that is how you will know who needs to be part of the “re-
teach group.”

Re-Teach: Now that you have taught the lesson try to figure out which students
still need help understanding divisibility. You can do this by directly asking them if
they understood or by checking who has correctly completed the worksheet.
Once you have figured out who needs further help gather them into a group and
work on the worksheet with them. Meanwhile the rest of the class can begin
working on the homework worksheet.

Use a multiplication chart to help you make connections between the different
multiples when explaining divisibility. The students already know where they
have their multiplication charts, so just ask one of them to let you borrow it. Use
the chart to explain and complete the worksheet problems with the students.

(Make connections of the different multiples which work for the divisibility rules)

For example, you can say “a number divisible by 2 must be an even number”
(and point down the column of the 2 multiples) then ask each student to give you
another number divisible by 2.
Make sure that each number they choose is an even number.
