Division 1 (Class 1)

Long Division 1 is designed for students entering grades 5–7 who need to master the standard long division algorithm when dividing by 1-digit numbers. This course is ideal for students who understand basic division facts but struggle to organize the steps of long division or frequently make calculation errors.

Each lesson begins with a brief review of multiplication facts and previously learned concepts, since success in division depends heavily on multiplication fluency. Students will learn to apply the classic Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Bring Down (DMSB) process to increasingly challenging problems involving multi-digit dividends.

Topics Covered

• Review of multiplication and division facts
• Understanding division as repeated subtraction and equal groups
• Long division with 1-digit divisors
• The DMSB process (Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Bring Down)
• Interpreting and writing remainders
• Checking answers using multiplication
• Identifying and correcting common mistakes

Instructional Methods

• Teacher-led mini lessons
• Step-by-step guided examples
• Pre-made worksheets
• Interactive online games (Kahoot, Blooket, and mental math activities)
• Independent practice with teacher support

End-of-Week Application

On Friday, students solve division word problems that require them to determine whether to use the quotient only, include a remainder, or round up depending on the context.

Ideal For Students Who:

• Know multiplication facts but struggle with long division
• Forget the steps of the algorithm
• Need more practice organizing their work
• Make frequent calculation errors
• Want to build a stronger foundation for upper-level math

By the end of the course, students will be able to accurately divide multi-digit numbers by 1-digit divisors, interpret remainders appropriately, and solve real-world division problems with confidence.
