Lesson Three – Dividing Threes

This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to explain and model how to use bar models to illustrate and record how to divide numbers into equal groups of three when working with facts in the three multiplication tables.
The class can practise using concrete equipment and diagrams to build number arrays to link with division number statements based on matching multiplication products.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explain and model how to use bar models to illustrate and record how to divide numbers into equal groups of three when working with facts in the three multiplication tables
Activities in this teaching pack include a set of cards to select multiples of three to divide into equal groups using arrays and bar models and a template to record how to divide different numbers by three using bar models and number sentences to calculate and record each quotient.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use bar models to illustrate how to divide different numbers into equal groups of three.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to learn and recall the number facts in the three and four times tables to utilise when solving abstract and contextual problems involving multiplication and division calculations. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
