Common Core Standards:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.NS.B.2: Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.

Targeted Needs of Student:

Understanding divisibility rules, visually representing divisibility patterns, providing examples of divisibility rules, practicing recognizing patterns in numbers

Goal:

Providing students with proof that divisibility rules work using patterns.

Materials Needed:

1. Foldable with number charts on it
2. Scissors
3. Writing utensils
4. Coloring utensils

Explanation/Summary:

Students will be given number charts and shown how to represent the divisibility rules by shading in the multiples of every number from 2 – 10 (excluding 7). Then they will cut the foldable open to make flaps where they can write the divisibility rule with examples. This would be great to do as an activity after learning the rules and also teachers can have students fill out the divisibility rule foldable as she teaches each rule.
