STANDARDS

Standard 6.NS.2 Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.

Standard 6.NS.3 Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation.

a. Fluently divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm, limited to a whole number dividend with a decimal divisor or a decimal dividend with a whole number divisor. b. Solve division problems in which both the dividend and the divisor are multi-digit decimals; develop the standard algorithm by using models, the meaning of division, and place value understanding.

DIFFERENTIATION IN ACTION

Skill Building

In Activity 5.2: MLR 2 Collect and Display Use this routine while students are working through the first two questions. As partners work, circulate and listen to student talk about the connections they see between the problems. Record student language and written representations on a visual display. Listen for language like “the same,” “reciprocal,” and “inverse operation.” Continue to add to the display as students work through other problems during the next three lessons. This will help students read and use mathematical language during their paired and whole-group discussions. Lesson 12 “Are You Ready for More?” A distant, magical land uses jewels for their bartering system. The jewels are valued and ranked in order of their rarity. Each jewel is worth 3 times the jewel immediately below it in the ranking. The ranking is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. So a red jewel is worth 3 orange jewels, a green jewel is worth 3 blue jewels, and so on. A group of 4 craftsmen are paid 1 of each jewel. If they split the jewels evenly amongst themselves, which jewels does each craftsman get?
