Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.

Success: determine divisibility by factor evidence and show a remainder when appropriate. Prepare 36 counters or number cards. (AC9M5N02)

  1. Recall · 2 min. Ask whether a factor pair gives a division fact. Example 4×6=24 gives 24÷6=4.
  2. Model · 4 min. Arrange 36 into six equal rows: 36÷6=6. Test five rows: five groups of seven use 35, one remains.
  3. Guided compare · 5 min. Check divisibility of 36 by 4, 9 and 5 with facts: 4×9, 9×4, and no whole factor 5.
  4. Independent turn · 7 min. For 30, test divisors 3, 4, 5 and 6. Key: yes 3×10, no 4×7=28 with 2 left, yes 5×6, yes 6×5.
  5. Explain · 4 min. Learners compare a quick rule with an array or inverse multiplication check. Teacher looks for reasoning, not a memorised slogan.
  6. Exit · 3 min. “Is 36 divisible by 5 into whole equal groups?” Key: no; one is left after seven in each of five groups.
