Common Core Standards:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.A.2: Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.

Targeted Needs of Student:

Fluently multiplying and dividing, understanding remainders, dividing into equal groups, real world application of division, integration of literature in math

Goal:

To provide students with an introduction of remainders and equal groups

Materials Needed:

1.      A Remainder of One by Elinor J Pinczes

Explanation/Summary:

The teacher will read the book to the students and have students discuss what equal groups means in a real world context. In this book, the main character has to make even lines for the queen ant but keeps having one remainder. The book describes all of the possibilities he goes through to make equal groups.
