III. Learning Experiences
A. Preparatory Activities
1. Drill: Basic Division Facts
Write the quotients in the outer circle.
2. Review – Dividing 2 to 3-digit numbers by 1-digit divisor
Divide the following numbers. Use “Show-Me-Board.”
1) 36 ÷ 2 = 2) 39 ÷ 3 = 3) 51 ÷ 3 =
4) 44 ÷ 4 = 5) 86 ÷ 2 = 4) 64 ÷ 2 =
3. Motivation
Present a problem opener.
Anne bought 120 mangoes in the market. She placed the mangoes equally in 3
baskets. How many mangoes were placed in each basket?
B. Development Activities
1. Presentation
a. Ask:
Who bought mangoes?
How many mangoes did she buy?
Where did she place the mangoes?
Is it good to eat mangoes? Why?
a. Solve the problem using the 4 steps in problem solving.
■ Understand the problem
Where did Anne buy mangoes?
How many mangoes did she buy?
How many baskets did she use?
How many mangoes were placed in each basket?
What process are we going to use?
■ Make a plan
What operation will solve the problem?
■ Carry out the plan
Ask a pupil to write the number sentence: 120 ÷ 2 = N
Activity 1
1) Divide the the class into 4 teams.
2) Each team will show the solution by using paper cut outs of mangoes and
baskets.
Answer: Each basket will have 60 mangoes. Did each team get the correct.
Answer? Prove your answer.
Activity 2
Solve the problem in another way using expanded notation:
How many hundreds are there in 120?
How many tens are there?
How many ones are there?
50 + 10 + 0 = 60 mangoes
120 ÷ 2 = 2 )100 + 20 + 0
■ Look back:
Is the answer correct?
What should be the correct label?
Let us try to solve the problem using another way.
Step 1
6 Divide the tens.
2 )120 12 tens ÷ 2 = 6 tens
12 Write 6 in the tens place
0 Multiply
6 x 2 = 12
Write 12 under 12.
Subtract 12 – 12.
Bring down 0.
Step 2
6 Divide the ones.
2 )120 0 ones ÷ 2 = 0 ones
12 Write 0 in the ones place.
0 Multiply:
0 0x2=0
x Write 0 under 0.
Subtract 0 – 0.
Answer: 60 mangoes were placed in each basket.
To check:
Multiply 60 quotient
x2 divisor
120 dividend

2. Guided Practice
a. Work in groups of four.
Divide: Fill in the blank with the correct number. Do this on your paper.
1) 4 )664 2) 15 )375
-4 (4 x 1) - 30 (15 x 2)
- (4 x 6) - (15 x 2)
- (4 x 6)
3) 3 )5868 4) 32 )9984
-3 (3 x 1) - 96 (32 x 3)
- (3 x 9) - (32 x 1)
- (3 x 5) - (32 x 2)
- (3 x 6) - (32 x 2)
• Work in pairs: (Dyads)
Solve the number problem in each box. Then find the answer written in the cut
outs of apples. Place the apples in their correct box.
3. Generalization
What should you remember in dividing 3- to 4-digit numbers by 1- to 2- digit
divisor?
To divide 3- to 4-digit numbers by 1- to 2-digit divisor:
Step 1:
• Take the first number at the left of the dividend. If the first digit of
the dividend is less than the divisor, take the first two digits.
Step 2:
• Divide, multiply, subtract and bring down.
• Repeat the same procedure up to the last digit in the dividend.
To check the answer:
• Multiply the quotient by the divisor
• The answer is correct if the product is equal to the dividend.
C. Application
1. Analyze the table below. Divide the given numbers to find the number of trays to be
used if each tray holds 12 eggs. Then complete the table with the correct answers.
360 eggs
432 eggs
1 524 eggs
1 008 eggs
8 940 eggs
IV. Evaluation
A. Divide each number problems. Check if the quotient is correct. Write True if it is correct
and False if it is not.
___________ 1) 596 ÷ 4 = 149
___________ 2) 975 ÷ 15 = 95
___________ 3) 1 234 ÷ 2 = 617
___________ 4) 5 682 ÷ 21 = 362
___________ 5) 4 806 ÷ 54 = 89
