Lesson details
Key learning points
- If the divisor is equal to 1, then the dividend and the quotient will be equal.
- Any number divided by 1 is equal to itself.
Keywords
Dividend - The dividend is what we are dividing.
Divisor - The divisor is what we are dividing by.
Quotient - The quotient is the result after division has taken place.
Common misconception
Children are unsure as to why, when the divisor is equal to 1, the quotient is equal to the dividend.
Use physical resources e.g. counters or children to represent both sharing and grouping contexts to help children to visualise the idea before applying to abstract equations.
Make comparisons between the related division facts previously taught e.g. drawing upon how 12 divided by 12 is equal to 1 and 12 divided by 1 is equal to 12 are related.
