Mathematics/Grade 6
Factoring Multi-Digit Numbers
Objectives: The student will apply division of multi-digit numbers to compute the factors
of those multi-digit numbers.
College and Career Ready Standard: 6.NS.B.2
The Number System 6. NS
Compute fluently with multidigit numbers and find common factors and multiples.
2. Compute fluently with multidigit numbers and find common factors and multiples.
B) Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.
Anticipatory Set:
Think back to how we used to divide big numbers with long division. Complete each of
the following problems on a sheet of notebook paper and be prepared to share your
answers.
1. 603
2. 322
3. 755
Go over the correct quotients by calling on students using Ask-Pause-Call.
Segue: Today we are going to use division to help us find factors of multi-digit numbers.

Prime Factoring
Modeling:
o Example 1: Breanna will do a problem on the whiteboard while checking
for understanding after each step. Dustin circulates the room checking for
understanding.

o Example 2: Dustin will do a problem on the whiteboard while checking

for understanding after each step. Breanna circulates the room checking
for understanding.

Guided practice: The students and the teachers will work together to find the
factors for two different multi-digit numbers.
o Example 1: Breanna will lead an example that the students will fill in each
step with her. Dustin circulates the classroom checking for understanding.

o Example 2: Dustin will lead an example that the students will fill in each
step with him. Breanna circulates the classroom checking for
understanding.

Individual Practice: The students will work with their shoulder partners on a
whiteboard to find the factors for two multi-digit numbers. *Teachers check for
understanding of directions.
o Example 1: Breanna and Dustin will present students with a problem to
complete. Both of them will circulate the classroom checking for
understanding.

o Example 2: Breanna and Dustin will present students with a problem to

complete. Both of them will circulate the classroom checking for
understanding.
