Type: Audio/Video

Overview:

In this video segment from Cyberchase, Buzz, Delete, and Harold are trying to share 18 pieces of candy equally among themselves. Jackie helps them by demonstrating how to divide the candies equally by distributing the candies in rounds.

Content Standard(s):
Mathematics

Grade: 3
2. Illustrate and interpret the quotient of two whole numbers as the number of objects in each group or the number of groups when the whole is partitioned into equal shares.

Unpacked Content
Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students:
Given any division problem (including word situations) in the form a ÷ b = c,
  • Use concrete materials/pictorial representations to model various division situations.
  • Identify and explain the meanings of the quantities given as well as the meaning and quantity of the missing information.

  • Example: Given 35 ÷ 5, depending on context, students explain that 35 is the number of objects partitioned into 5 equal shares, and 7 is the size of each share, or that 35 is the number of objects partitioned into groups of 5 objects each, and 7 is the number of groups shared.
  • Explain the strategy or reasoning used to find a quotient (or missing factor).
  • Write expressions and equations illustrated by models and drawings.
  • Write word problems to represent a situation involving division.
  • Teacher Vocabulary:
    • Partitive division
    • Measurement division
    • Missing factor
    • Factor
    • Quotient
    • Partition
    • Product
    • Divisor
    • Dividend
    • Equal share
    Knowledge:
    Students know:
    • that division is related to multiplication in terms of finding a missing factor. The missing factor being either the number of groups or the number of items in each group.
    Skills:
    Students are able to:
    • Interpret quantities in a division situation as the number of objects in each group or the number of equal groups.
    • Use a model or drawing to illustrate a quotient.
    • Write word problems for division context involving equal groups and fair shares.
    Understanding:
    Students understand that:
    • a division expression represents either the number of objects in each group when the total number is partitioned evenly into a given number of groups or the number of groups when the total number is partitioned into groups that each contain a given number.
    Diverse Learning Needs:
    Essential Skills:
    Learning Objectives:
    M.3.2.1: Define the parts of a division problem including divisor, dividend, and quotient.
    M.3.2.2: Write a division equation.
    M.3.2.3: Apply the signs ÷ and = to the action of separating sets.
    M.3.2.4: Recognize division as either repeated subtraction, parts of a set, parts of a whole, or the inverse of multiplication.
    M.3.2.5: Model grouping with basic division facts partitioned equally (e.g. 8/2).
    M.3.2.6: Apply properties of operations as strategies to subtract.
    M.3.2.7: Subtract within 20.
    M.3.2.8: Represent equal groups using manipulatives.

    Prior Knowledge Skills:
    • Putting a larger item into smaller groups
    • Model writing equations from word problems.
    • Apply signs +,
    • , = to actions of joining and separating sets.
    • Use of base 10 blocks to demonstrate making equal sets of a larger whole.

    Alabama Alternate Achievement Standards
    AAS Standard:
    M.AAS.3.1 Using vocalization, sign language, augmentative communication, or assistive technology, model finding the sum of equal groups using repeated addition (sums within 30).
