• From the RAFT chart below, ask each student to choose a role, an 
audience, a format and a topic and prepare the product selected.
Each product should relate the particular role to the division 
process. The remainder, for example, could write an email to his 
friends about feeling left out when all of the other cookies are 
shared out equally to the children at the birthday party and he is 
not included because he is the remainder (left over).
Students should share their product.

• Ask students to work in groups of three or four. Give each group 
a random set of base ten materials. Students should share the 
materials equally (divide) and then complete a math sentence.
(5N6.1)
• Ask students to use base ten blocks to solve:
Purity Factories produce Cream Crackers. They prepare
gift packs with three boxes of Cream Crackers in each pack.
If they have 724 boxes of crackers, how many gift packs can
they package?
(5N6.2)
Interview

and create a word problem that would apply to the model.
