Description: In this scaffolded activity, students will use equal groups to understand division. Students will determine the quotient (number of groups) on each card. All cards feature New Year's Eve/ winter themed objects. Students work through the deck with gradual release of responsibility: 1. Initial cards match the wording format: Divide 20 balloons into groups of 5. There are _____ groups of 5 balloons. 20 ÷ 5 = ____ 2. The next set of cards match the wording format: Divide 20 balloons into groups of 5. 20 ÷ 5 = ____ 3. The last set of cards match the format: 20 ÷ 5 = ____ CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.A.2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.
