In this lesson, students learn the divisibility rules for the number four, which help determine if a number can be divided evenly by four. The first rule states that if the last two digits of a number are both zeros, the number is divisible by four. The second rule involves checking if the last two digits can be divided by four without leftovers, as demonstrated with the example of 344 sheep, which is divisible by four because its last two digits, 44, can be evenly divided by four.
  1. What are the two rules we can use to check if a number is divisible by four?
  2. Can you give an example of a number that is divisible by four and explain why?
  3. Why is it important to know if a number is divisible by four when building stables for the sheep?

Divisibility Rules of the Number 4 ???? Math for Kids ➗

Understanding Divisibility by Four

Today, let’s learn about how we can tell if a number can be divided by four without leaving any leftovers. Imagine I have 344 sheep, and I want to make sure they are cozy by building stables where they can rest in groups of four. To do this, I need to know if I can arrange them perfectly in groups of four. Let’s find out how!

The Divisibility Rule for Four

There are two simple rules to check if a number is divisible by four. If a number follows either of these rules, it means we can divide it by four evenly.

Rule 1: Check for Zeros

The first rule is to look at the last two digits of the number. If these two digits are both zeros, then the number is divisible by four. For example, if we have 400, the last two digits are 00, so 400 is divisible by four.

Rule 2: Check the Last Two Digits

If the last two digits are not zeros, we use the second rule. We take the last two digits and see if they can be divided by four without any leftovers. Let’s try this with our 344 sheep. The last two digits are 44. If we divide 44 by 4, we get 11 with no leftovers. This means 344 is divisible by four!

Building Stables for the Sheep

Since 344 is divisible by four, I can build stables for all my sheep, and none will be left out. This is fantastic because it means all the stables will be full, and I can keep my sheep warm and happy before winter arrives.

Isn’t it fun to learn new things? There are so many more exciting topics to explore! If you want to keep learning and having fun, you can find more educational videos. Imagine all the amazing things you can discover!

  • Can you think of a time when you had to share something equally with your friends or family? How did you make sure everyone got the same amount?
  • Imagine you have 12 toys and you want to put them into groups of four. How many groups will you have? Can you think of other numbers that can be divided into groups of four without any leftovers?
  • Why do you think it’s important for the sheep to be in groups of four? Can you think of other animals or things that might need to be grouped in a special way?
  1. Sheep Stable Challenge: Gather some small objects like buttons, coins, or blocks to represent sheep. Try to group them into sets of four. Start with different numbers, like 12, 15, 20, and 23. Can you group them all evenly into sets of four? Which numbers leave some “sheep” without a stable? This activity helps you practice the divisibility rule by seeing which numbers can be divided by four without leftovers.

  2. Number Detective: Look around your home or classroom for numbers. Check the last two digits of each number you find. Use the divisibility rules to determine if each number is divisible by four. For example, if you see the number 128 on a book page, check if 28 can be divided by four. Write down the numbers that are divisible by four and share your findings with a friend or family member.

  3. Divisibility Art: Create a drawing or a collage using numbers that are divisible by four. You can cut out numbers from old magazines or newspapers or write them yourself. Arrange these numbers creatively on a piece of paper. As you work, think about why each number fits the divisibility rule for four. Share your artwork with the class and explain how you chose the numbers.

Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:

In this video, we will explore numbers that are divisible by four. I have 344 sheep, and I want to ensure they are comfortable by building stables where they can rest in groups of four. To determine if I can arrange them this way without leaving any sheep out, I will use the divisibility rule for four.

The method is based on two rules. If either of them is fulfilled, it means our number is divisible by four. First, we check if the last two digits of the number we want to divide are zeros. If they are, then we know it is divisible by four.

Let’s check the number of sheep I have. The number is 344, and it doesn’t end in two zeros, so we need to use the other rule. We will look at the last two digits again, which are 44, and check if this number is divisible by four.

Dividing 44 by 4 gives us a remainder of zero, which means that our original number, 344, is also divisible by four. This is great news! All the stables will be full, and I will need to work hard before winter comes to ensure my sheep stay warm.
