Lesson Plan For Grade 3, Quotition Division Research

Understanding quotition division is a prerequisite to making progress in problem solving and algebra. Students who do not have an intuitive feel for quotition must rely on processes. When they get to word problems, they ask "how do I set up the problem"? As students age their memory for unrelated processes gets weaker.

Making Sense of Partitive and Quotitive Division
about 25% of teachers could make sense of 8 / (1/2) or 8/0.5.

What is division?
Reference 
Wikipedia  and Mathematics Stack Exchange


Division can written as: a/b = c.
a is the dividend.
b is the divisor.
c is the quotient.

Division can be expressed as:
1) Partition division
2) Quotition division


Partition Division

6 / 2 = ?
Divide 6 into 2 groups.
How many are in each group?

(Get the answer! Show 6 tiles. Make 2 equal groups. Count how many there are in a group.)

6/2 = 3

Quotition Division

6/2 = ?

Divide 6 into groups of 2.
How many groups are there?

(Get the answer! Show 6 tiles. Make groups of 2 tiles. Count how many groups.)

6/2 = 3
