The Doorbell Rang
Literature was integrated into the math problem solving lesson. The book, the Doorbell Rang, was used to help the students better understand division and its use in the real world. In the story two children have 12 cookies to share between them. Then two more friends come. Now there are four children to share the 12 cookies. Then two more friends come to share the 12 cookies. Now there are six children to share the 12 cookies. At the end, there are 12 children to share 12 cookies. As I read the story, I gave the students time to draw a strategy to show how to divide the cookies between the ever changing number of children. The students also wrote the division number model sentence to go with their picture. Students shared their strategies and pictures with the class.
