Lesson Plan Template __Title__: Mathematical Manners __Description__: Students will build division readiness skills by separating objects into equal groups. __Duration__: Two 40 minute sessions __Learning Objectives__: ·  Students will be able to understand the concept of equal groups. ·  Students will be able to separate objects into equal groups using manipulatives. ·  Students will be able to create and solve a number story using the concept of equal groups. __Materials__: SMART board LCD projector Internet access Primary grades writing paper (w/ upper portion for illustration) Writing implements (pencils, crayons) Slates and dry erase markers __Step by Step Procedure__: Session 1 Session 2 __Grade Level(s)__: Grade 2 __Support Materials__: PowerPoint Presentation: [|Mathematical Manners] Online games: [|Divider Machine] [|Division Without a Remainder] Rubric:  [|Mathematical Manners Rubric] __Related Standards__: Standard MST3: Mathematics (1997) Students will understand mathematics and become mathematically confident by communicating and reasoning mathematically, by applying mathematics in real-world settings, and by solving problems through the integrated study of number systems, geometry, algebra, data analysis, probability, and trigonometry Key Idea MST3.NN2: Students use number sense and numeration to develop an understanding of the multiple uses of numbers in the real world, the use of numbers to communicate mathematically, and the use of numbers in the development of mathematical ideas. __Submitted By__: Erynn T.

 * Tap students’ prior knowledge about division. Responses will be recorded directly on SMART board.
 * Read the POEM problem (Solve This…) Remind students that those who have good manners always //share equally//. Explain to students that they will be completing this problem using their slates. Students will Think-Pair-Share. One
 * One or two students will be allowed to demonstrate their solutions on the SMART board.
 * Students will practice division readiness skills through online games.
 * Explain to students that they will be creating their own word problems using division. They will solve their own problems and illustrate solutions on their papers.
 * Lastly students will each present their projects.
