    Lesson Plan for Dividing

    Decimals/Mixed Decimals
    Objective:
    Students will be able to divide decimals and mixed decimals up to 2 decimal
    places.

    Code:
    M6NS-Ig-116.4

    Grade Level:
    Grade 6

    Subject:
    Mathematics

    (1) Review
    Begin the lesson by reviewing the concept of division and how to handle
    decimals. Ask students to recall their previous knowledge about dividing
    whole numbers and introduce the idea of decimals. Use a few simple division
    problems to refresh their memory, such as:

     12 ÷ 3
     15 ÷ 5

    (2) Motivation
    To engage students’ interest, present a real-world scenario where they might
    need to divide decimals, such as a shopping experience. Show them a price
    tag of an item that costs $19.50 and ask them how much each person would
    pay if 3 friends decided to share the cost. This scenario will help them see
    the relevance of the lesson.

    (3) Activity
    Interactive Workshop: "Decimal Division Relay"

    Materials Needed:

     Whiteboard and markers


     Decimal flashcards (with various decimal division problems)
     Stopwatch
     Small prizes for winning teams

    Instructions:

    1. Form Teams: Divide the class into small groups of 4-5 students.
    2. Set Up Stations: Create several stations around the classroom, each
    with a flashcard containing a decimal division problem (e.g., 12.75 ÷ 3,
    9.60 ÷ 4).
    3. Relay Race: Explain that each team will send one member at a time
    to solve the problem at their station and write the answer on the
    whiteboard.
    4. Time Limit: Each team has 1 minute to solve as many problems as
    possible before rotating to the next station.
    5. Winning Team: The team that correctly answers the most problems
    wins a small prize.

    (4) Analysis
    After the activity, gather the students and discuss the answers to each
    problem. Ask students to explain their thought processes and strategies used
    to arrive at their answers. Encourage them to share any difficulties they
    faced.

    (5) Abstraction
    Guide students to generalize the steps involved in dividing decimals:

    1. Align the decimal points.


    2. If necessary, multiply both the dividend and divisor by 10, 100, etc., to
    eliminate the decimal.
    3. Divide as with whole numbers.
    4. Place the decimal point in the quotient.

    (6) Application
    Real-Life Problem: Imagine you are at a bakery. You want to buy a cake
    that costs $24.75. If you want to split the cost with 4 friends, how much will
    each person pay?

    Solution:

     Divide $24.75 by 4.
     Each friend will pay $6.19.

    (7) Assessment
    Questions:

    1. What is 7.5 ÷ 3?

     A) 2.5
     B) 3.5
     C) 4.5
     D) 5.5
     Answer: A) 2.5
    2. True or False: When dividing a decimal by a whole number, the
    decimal point in the quotient is placed directly above the decimal point
    in the dividend.

     Answer: True
    3. Fill in the blank: 15.6 ÷ _____ = 5.2

     Answer: 3
    4. What is 9.84 ÷ 2?

     A) 4.92
     B) 5.92
     C) 6.92
     D) 7.92
     Answer: A) 4.92
    5. True or False: The result of dividing a decimal by a decimal will always
    be a whole number.

     Answer: False

    (8) Assignment
    For homework, provide students with a worksheet containing a variety of
    decimal division problems that they can solve independently. Include
    problems like:

     8.4 ÷ 2
     15.75 ÷ 5
     24.6 ÷ 3
     10.8 ÷ 4.5

    Encourage them to explain their steps in solving each problem.

    Interactive Activities Related to the Objective


    1. Decimal Division Bingo: Create bingo cards with different decimal
    division answers. Call out decimal division problems, and students
    mark the correct answers on their cards.

    2. Decimal Division Pictionary: In groups, students draw a decimal


    division problem on the board while their teammates guess the
    problem. This reinforces their understanding through visual
    representation.

    3. Online Decimal Division Games: Utilize educational websites that


    offer interactive decimal division games. Have students play in pairs
    and compete for the best scores.
    These activities will help reinforce the lesson in a fun and engaging manner,
    ensuring that students grasp the concept of dividing decimals effectively.
