This activity is a great lesson to do before our ‘simple addition’ task cards as it’s slightly more adult led. Students will look at dividing a group of sticks into equal groups and seeing if there are any left over. It’s a great way to introduce multiplication and division to your students in a very visual and practical way.
Teaching directions:
-
Give your students an amount of time (1-2 minutes works well) to collect as many sticks as they can.
-
Come back together with their sticks and get them to work through the differentiated worksheets.
-
You can either let students complete the worksheet individually / in small groups or go through the worksheet as a group or class together.
-
As you go through the sheet, try to introduce them to vocabulary such as ‘divide, division, share, remainder, etc.
