US Grade 3 - 4
In my class, learners will be introduced to division (1 or 2 digit divided 1 digit) and how to divide using equal groups. Learners will make equal groups using M&Ms or any other same sized objects you have around your house (cereal, macaroni noodles, beans, skittles...) I do not have activities specific to M&Ms. We will talk about what division is and I will teach how to set up and use equal groups with my own M&Ms and slides to solve a multiplication problem. Students will then work together to solve 1-2 digit divided by 1 digit problems. We will solve word problems together and play games to practice division terms and solve problems. Students do not need to know how to divide. Then do need to know how to count.
Learning Goals
Students will understand a division problem and know how to solve it using equal groups and M&Ms.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Utah Teaching Certificate in Special Education
Hello! My name is Natalie! I am a former Special Education Resource Teacher of 4 years. I have taught grades K-6 reading, writing and math small groups. I taught students with learning disabilities for 30 to 45 minutes a day, then they would go back to their homeroom class.
I love teaching students new strategies to solve problems. Everyone learns differently and everyone can absolutely learn and succeed. I love seeing my students finally understand math watch their confidence grow and have a blast learning! I love helping students learn to use the different tools in their tool box to solve a math problem. There are multiple ways a problem can be solved. I love teaching different strategies because one will work for students over the other.
Math can be viewed as hard, boring and daunting. It is my goal to make math fun, have students feel successful and tackle a math problem with confidence!
