Students will be able to create part-whole division word problems.
Students will be able to talk about and create division word problems using a graphic organizer and sentence stems.
Write two sentences on the board that are separate but pieces of a word problem (e.g., "1. The class has a total of $150 to spend on book bundles," and "2. They buy 6 bundles."). Number them 1–2 and ask students to brainstorm what information the sentences share.
Gather background information from students by listening to their discussions. They should understand that sentence #1 discusses the total or whole amount (e.g., $150 to spend on the bundles) and sentence #2 talks about a part or piece of the whole (e.g., 6 book bundles).
Draw a part-whole model on the board and tell students they will discuss keywords and hints within story problems that show a part-whole relationship.
