Divisibility: Lesson Plan and Activity, Graphic Organizer, Posters, and Game!

(0)
This bundle includes everything you need to help students construct an understanding of divisibility! Lesson Plan and Activity: Students are guided to test over 45 numbers for divisibility for numbers 1-10. They then use the numbers that are divisible by each divisor to develop a rule for each (as a class). This is a FUN activity which promotes active learning with a high engagement rate. Graphic Organizer: There are two front options and three options for the inside so you can customize how much you want your students to take notes vs. focus on creating the rules as a class. This aides in differentiation and can be a great time saver! Posters: There are four color posters which can be hung vertically to remind students of the divisibility rules from 1-10 (7 and 8 excluded). These are great when teaching about simplifying fractions and working with division/estimation. Game: The Tiger Escape Game which I have included allows students to practice what they have learned in a fun, easy to set up game. Students use their divisibility rules to move the tiger through the game board while checking to see which of the spaces along the path are divisible by the numbers 1-10 (7 and 8 excluded).

An Activity to help students practice the skill: Finding Fractional Parts of a Number! Game Play requires students to determine the highest or lowest value when comparing fractions of a number. Includes: 48 Game Cards & Directions. Players each get an equal amount of cards. Then, each turns over a card. Example: 1/2 of 28 vs. 2/3 of 18 Then they compare the values of both cards. 1/2 of 28 = 14 vs. 2/3 of 18 =12 The person with the highest value on their card gets to keep both cards. The object is to be the person with the greatest number of cards at the end of the game.
