✅DIVISION EQUAL GROUPS MINI LESSON

The mini lesson is perfect for practicing division using equal groups. The students will practice learning the terms dividend, division symbol, divisor, and quotient in this lesson. They also will learn that words that usually mean division are split, cut, chop, separate, break up, and partition.

✅10 EQUAL GROUPS WORKSHEETS

Students practice solving division equations with equal groups in a birthday party themed worksheet, a simple equal groups division worksheet, making equal groups with dots, monster division matching, and completing equal groups with division word problems. There are plenty of division worksheets for equal groups included.

✅ 4 ERROR ANALYSIS PAGES

Students look at four different work samples and decide which pages are right and which are wrong based on what is shown. These are perfect for math talk or whole group discussions. The error analysis pages help with evaluating common third grade math mistakes.

✅CUT AND PASTE ACTIVITY: DIVISION CITY

Students create a division city using the objects given. They cut and glue the objects where they belong in the city in equal groups. They then glue the correct division equation next to each group of pictures. There are 2 versions included: one for students to complete individually or a set you can do with students in groups. I love to use the second version and split the students into groups so students can work together to make the big division picture.

✅EMOJI MATH SORT

This is a sorting activity where students put a smile or a frown emoji on top of each task card. If the answer is correct, a happy smile is put on top of it. If the wrong answer was found, the students put a frown on top of the task card.

✅GAME #1: DIVISION COOKIES

Students match up the set of cookies with each kid who orders. This is a matching game where students solve each division equation and find the cookies that go with each kid. You could even pull out Cookie Crisp cereal to have students do this activity with real life manipulatives.

✅ GAME #2: BUILD A BASEBALL STADIUM GAME

Each player gets a background to build their baseball stadium on. Playing cards and baseball pieces go in the middle. Each time you get an answer correct, you earn a piece for your baseball field. Chance cards are provided to spice up gameplay. You never know who’s going to win with these included! The first person to finish getting 10 items in their baseball field wins!

✅ GAME #3: RACING GAME

This game is called “Line Them Up!”. In the game, students race to see which team can line their cards up in the correct order first. Here are the steps to play. Mix up each set of cards well. Give a set of cards to each team. Start the race. Students find the START card first. They put this down. Once the start card is found, students find the answer to the equation. They continue to “Line Them Up” until they reach the FINISH card. The first team done wins!

You can use the games in your classroom as a math center, a whole group game, or have students complete independently in their math notebooks! There is a color and black and white version of each game and activity included.

This aligns with 3rd Grade Common Core 3.OA.2:

• interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each.

This aligns with 2nd Grade Texas TEKS:

• TEKS 2.6B: model, create, and describe contextual division situations in which a set of concrete objects is separated into equivalent sets

This aligns with 3rd Grade Texas TEKS:

• TEKS 3.4H: determine the number of objects in each group when a set of objects is partitioned into equal shares or a set of objects is shared equally
• TEKS 3.4J: determine a quotient using the relationship between multiplication and division

This aligns with Florida BEST Standards (B.E.S.T.)

• MA.3.NSO.2.2 Explore multiplication of two whole numbers with products from 0 to 144, and related division facts.
• MA.3.NSO.2.4 Multiply two whole numbers from 0 to 12 and divide using related facts with procedural reliability.
