III. 1. Drill
Contest A Step for Victory
Teacher tells the pupils that theyre going to have a contest. It will be called A Step for
Victory. Pupils will be grouped by 5. A participant from each group will be called. The teacher
will flash the cards. Two numbers are written on the cards: the first number gives the product and
the second number gives the quotient of the number pair the contestant will say. The first one to
give the correct answer will make a step until he or she reaches the vase. Upon reaching the
vase, he/she will be given a flower to be placed in their flower vase. The group with the most
number of flowers in the vase will be declared as winner.

2. Analysis and Discussion

How do we get the answer?

How many digits are there in the dividends? the divisor?
Can we get the answer without using our paper and pencil? How?

3. Practice Exercises
Divide the following numbers mentally.
a. Using flash cards with division facts (2 digits by 1 digit combination)
b. Divide.
39 3
84 4
50 5
848 4
846 6
4. Generalization
How do we divide numbers mentally?
When we divide numbers mentally, we look at the dividend and the divisor if they are
compatible number. Compatible numbers, when the divisor exactly divides the dividend without
remainder. If the dividend is not exactly divisible by the divisor change it to the nearest number
that is exactly divisible by the divisor or vice versa. Then divide without using paper and pencil.
C. Application
1. Miss Roxas has 44 pupils. She grouped her pupils into 4 groups for their Science experiment.
How many members are there in each group? Can you solve the problem mentally? Is dividing
mentally important? Why?
