Division anchor chart (pre-made or created during the activity)
15 stickers or any small, countable objects
3 student volunteers
Paper and markers (if creating the anchor chart during the activity)
Introduction to Division:
Introduce Division Dan and Division Dina, characters who help with understanding division.
Explain that division is about splitting things into equal groups to be fair.
Modeling the Concept:
Present a division problem to the class, e.g., “I have 15 stickers to give to 3 friends. How many stickers does each friend get?”
Select 3 students to come to the front of the room.
Hands-On Activity:
Distribute the 15 stickers one at a time to the 3 students, ensuring each student receives the same number of stickers.
Discuss with the class how the stickers were divided equally.
Creating the Anchor Chart:
As a class, create an anchor chart that illustrates the division process. Include examples of division problems and visual representations of splitting objects into equal groups.
Use paper and markers to draw and label the division process, referencing the stickers activity.
Practice and Discussion:
Allow students to practice similar division problems with different objects.
Discuss the fairness of division and how it ensures everyone gets an equal share.
This approach helps students visualize and understand the concept of division through a practical, interactive method.
