Description
Knowing divisibility rules can improve the accuracy and efficiency of student work. In 5th and 6th grade math, students need to perform long division, reduce fractions or find a common factor as a daily practice, and knowing divisibility rules will accelerate the process for students.
Students can keep the Divisibility Rules in their math folders and/or can be posted to Google Classrooms for student reference. I find students rely heavily on this reference at the beginning of the year and gradually come to know the rules by heart toward the middle of the school year.
In 6th grade, the divisibility rules are not taught specifically, and many students come to middle school without a solid knowledge base for divisibility.

- Most common divisors listed, along with rule and example
