Divisibility Rules Experience 1

This experience is for practice and to see for ourselves how well we know our divisibility rules.

Select a single-digit number.

Begin by deciding which single-digit number you are going to be dividing by.

We have learned divisibility rules for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11.

Generate a three-digit number.

You can use the spinners here to generate the three-digit number, you could use dice or could just use your imagination!

Now generate a three-digit number. This is your dividend.

Using the divisibility rule, is your dividend evenly divisible by your divisor?

Was it evenly divisible, what was the remainder?

Check your answer using a calculator.

Continue to create other dividends and divide them by the same divisor.

Practice these time savers!

Continue practicing your divisibility rules for 10 minutes, 3 times per week.

After 20 days of practice, you will be sure to know these handy shortcuts for life.

They are a wonderful way to avoid hard work!
