Dividing Large Numbers Part III: Exit Pass

Subject Area

Mathematics

Grade(s)

4

Overview

This activity should be used at the end of a lesson or unit on the division of whole numbers. This activity should be used as an exit slip to check students' understanding of how to find quotients of larger numbers using strategies based on place value.

This activity results from the ALEX Resource Development Summit.

Knowledge

Students know:

How to decompose and compose numbers in a variety of ways using place value and the properties of operations to demonstrate a variety of strategies for division.
Division can be described as an unknown factor problem.
A variety of contextual situations can be represented with a division equation.

Skills

Students are able to:

Use strategies based on place value to find whole number quotients and remainders.
Use the properties of operations to find whole number quotients and remainders.
Use arrays and area models to find whole number quotients and remainders.
Illustrate division situations with rectangular arrays and area models.
Write an equation to represent a division situation.

Understanding

Students understand that:
Division expressions represent

The number of objects in each group when the total number is partitioned evenly into a given number of groups.
The number of groups when the total number is partitioned into groups that each contain a given number.

Students will find whole-number quotients by using strategies based on place value.

Activity Details

Activity Details

Once students have investigated and explored the concept of finding whole-number quotients by using strategies based on place value, this activity can be used to give the students an opportunity to explain their thinking and elaborate on the concept.

Students will complete the Division Exit Pass. Allow students to complete this activity individually then share their thinking with a partner or group of students. Students should explain their reasoning. This exit pass will assess the student's ability to use strategies to find a quotient of a whole-number division problem. Students should use strategies based on place value.

This activity can be used as an assessment or the teacher can lead a class discussion to allow students to share their reasoning with their classmates.

Assessment Strategies

Assessment Strategies

Student recordings on the Division Exit Pass sheet will be used as a formative or summative assessment to make sure students find whole-number quotients by using strategies based on place value.

Acceleration and Intervention

Background and Preparation

Background / Preparation

This activity should be used at the end of a lesson on division. Students should have prior knowledge on how to find a quotient using a strategy based on place value.
