This is a mathematics lapbook I designed and created to help students practice division skills. The lapbook is designed to help students view division as equally sharing among peers instead of a difficult operation.

I used Imagery and Utilization of an Area Model as a Way of Teaching Long Division: Meeting Diverse Student Needs written by Kerri Richardson, Sarah Pratt, and Stephanie Kurtts as inspiration for the activities in this lapbook.

• Standards Covered:
  • 3.OA.B.6
    • Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication and division.
      • Understand division as an unknown-factor problem. For example, find 32/8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8.
  • 3.OA.C.7
    • Operations & Algebraic Thinking: Multiply and divide within 100.
      • Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g. knowing that 8 x 5 = 40, one knows 40/5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
  • 3.OA.A.3
    • Operations & Algebraic Thinking: Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division.
      • Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
