This math unit progresses from elementary division techniques using skip counting to more complex multiplication and division concepts. Initially, students learn to divide integers through skip counting, connecting this strategy with visualization and logical reasoning. Problems involve counting legs of animals or objects such as chairs and applying division to find quantities (such as the number of animals based on the total number of legs). As the unit progresses, students apply these skip counting strategies for division to form division expressions and solve division equations both visually and numerically. The unit then transitions to practicing multiplication, reinforcing calculation skills by determining the total number of objects based on groups and counts (e.g., total cards in a card game). Subsequently, the skills extend to forming and understanding multiplication fact families and solving division as fractions. Towards the end, students engage with concepts such as long division, setting up and solving division problems and equations, and interpreting division expressions from verbal statements to formal mathematical notation. The unit culminates by solidifying understanding of division through multiple formats, including no remainder equations and fact families, enhancing the students' arithmetic proficiency and readiness for advanced mathematical concepts.Skills you will learn include:
