Introduction to Division Strategies PowerPoint Lesson with Practice Exercises

Are you searching for a step-by-step PowerPoint that can be used to introduce division strategies to your students in a way that will grab their attention? You've come to the right place! This 31-slide PowerPoint begins by presenting a scenario in which division needs to be used to divide candy into equal groups. Also, division terms are presented and equations are labeled with dividend, divisor, and quotient. Then, four common division strategies are introduced: equal groups, arrays, repeated subtraction, and using related multiplication facts. After each strategy is introduced, four practice opportunities are provided so that students can immediately practice each strategy for themselves.

PowerPoints filled with visuals are ideal for teaching new content to students because PowerPoints tend to be highly engaging and concepts can be easily broken down into understandable chunks of information. But let's face it... they are so time-consuming to create! Fortunately, now you have an option of using one that is already complete, kid-tested, and ready to go for you!

HERE'S THE SEQUENCE OF TOPICS COVERED IN THIS POWERPOINT:

Slides 1-8: Introduction to Division

Slides 8-13: Equal Groups

Slides 14-19: Arrays

Slides 20-25: Repeated Subtraction

Slides 26-31: Using Related Multiplication Facts

This PowerPoint includes a matching 4-page companion handout. Students can write on the handout, recording answers, as they progress through the PowerPoint.

Here's what teachers like you have to say about this math PowerPoint:

⭐️ Samantha C. said, "This was a great introduction to division. Students enjoyed having the visual and the worksheet to go with it to help them learn to divide using a variety of strategies."

⭐️ Jacklyn K. said, "I absolutely love this resource! I was able to break the PPT into multiple lessons so that I could focus on one strategy before having the students solve using multiple strategies. The animations make it so easy to use and the visuals definitely help with teaching division to 3rd graders!

⭐️ Renae K. said, "This PowerPoint was AWESOME! It allowed me to read the slide to the class, but the graphics included allowed the students to "see" how to solve division problems. This was how I introduced division to my third graders! It is a great resource that I will continue to use each year!"

⭐️ Elen E. said, "This was a great resource!! I had students who were completely lost able to grasp the division concept and were answering questions correctly!!!"
