Differentiation
SupportUse concrete manipulatives to model division problems.
ChallengeChallenge students to create their own measurement division problems.
Discussion Questions
  • How do we know when a problem requires division?
  • What does the quotient represent in measurement division?
  • Why is it important to include units in our answers?
  • How is 'measurement division' different from 'partitive division'?
Extension Activities
  • Measure different objects.
  • Solve more measurement problems.
  • Draw the divided lengths.
Parent Tip

Use a ruler to measure and divide objects at home.
