Mathematics

Grade 5

Multiplication and division

Module 33

Division

Activity 1:

To be able to do mental arithmetic [lo 1.10]

  1. You already know how important it is to be able to do mental arithmetic. You also know how important it is to know your tables. Doing mental arithmetic and knowing your tables will help you do division correctly, too. Let us start right away! Do you also like dried sausage ("droëwors")? Work with a friend. Look closely at the two "sausage machines". The one who is first to give the answers is the fastest sausage maker!

Who won?

2. Work on your own and colour in according to the code: 4 = dark grey ; 5 = pink ; 6 = light grey ; 7 = black ; 9 = red.

3. Complete the tables:

34
3.1 Divided by 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Remainders 1 ............ ............ ............ ............ ............ ............
61
3.2 Divided by 2 5 6 7 8 9 10
Remainders 1 ............ ............ ............ ............ ............ ............

4. Let us see how well you do in the following mental test. Complete it as quickly and accurately as you can:

4.1 35 – 5 – 5 – 5 = ............ 4.11 108 – 12 – 12 – 12 = ............
4.2 64 – 8 – 8 = ............ 4.12 72 – 9 – 9 = ............
4.3 42 ÷ 7 = ............ 4.13 Halve: 612: ............
4.4 54 ÷ 6 = ............ 4.14 Halve: 487: ............
4.5 ............ ÷ 7 = 8 4.15 Halve: 1 036: ............
4.6 ............ ÷ 12 = 6 4.16 ............ ÷ 9 = 4
4.7 28 ÷ 4 = ............ 4.17 ............ ÷ 8 = 6
4.8 280 ÷ 4 = ............ 4.18 60 ÷ ............ = 5
4.9 280 ÷ 40 = ............ 4.19 36 ÷ ............ = 4
4.10 2 800 ÷ 40 = ............ 4.20 3 600 ÷ 90 = ............

DID YOU KNOW?

Division is the inverse of multiplication.

Thus: 5 × 3 = 1515 ÷ 3 = 5 en15 ÷ 5 = 3

When I want to check a division sum, I multiply. When I check a multiplication sum, I divide

Activity 2:

To recognise, describe and use the reciprocal relation between multiplication and division

[lo 1.12.1]

1. Now use your knowledge of the "inverse" to complete the following:

1.1 If 26 × 17 = 442, then 442 ÷ 17 = ................ and 442 ÷ ................ = 17

  • If 24 × 30 = 720, then 720 ÷ ................ = 24 and 720 ÷ 24 = ................

DID YOU ALSO KNOW?

When we divide, we do the following:

REPEATED SUBTRACTION

12 ÷ 3 = 12 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 = 4

GROUPING

12 ÷ 3: We must divide 12 into 3 equal groups

DIVISION

12 ÷ 3: We must divide 12 equally between 3

123

Activity 3:

To recognise and represent numbers and to describe and compare them [lo 1.3]

1. Let us do revision. Do you remember what happens when we divide any number by 1? Work with a friend and find the answers to the following:

1.1 5 ÷ 1 = .................................. 1.2 86 ÷ 1 = ............................

1.3 359 ÷ 1 = .............................. 1.4 4 625 ÷ 1 = .......................

1.5 32 174 ÷ 1 = .........................

2. Write down a rule for dividing by 1.

BRAIN-TEASER!

If 5 ÷ 1 = 5 and 86 ÷ 1 = 86, then:

1 ÷ 5 = .........................

1 ÷ 86 = .........................

1 ÷ 359 = .........................

1 ÷ 4 625 = .........................

Thus, if 1 is the dividend, then the answer is always a...........................................

How bacteria create energy to survive?
Muhamad Reply
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?

explain assimilatory nitrate reduction
Esinniobiwa Reply
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
