Division Student Sample
2
What does it mean to divide? Division can be used to find how many are in each group when an amount is shared equally. This is called sharing. 15 / 5 = 3
3
What does it mean to divide? Another type of division situation is division as repeated subtraction. 15 – 5 = 10 10 – 5 = 5 5 – 5 = 0 How many times can I subtract 5 from 15 until nothing is left? 3 times 15 5 = 3
4
What does it mean to divide? Multiplication and division are called inverse operations because division undoes multiplication, and multiplication undoes division. For example, since 2 x 5 = 10, you know 10 x 2 = 5 and 10 x 5 = 2. Also, since 54 6 = 9 and 54 9= 6, then 9 x 6 = 54. *Use division to find a missing factor.
5
What do I need to know first?
6
What else do I need to know? Division has patterns (just like multiplication) Estimating means using – Rounding – Compatible numbers – Multiplication
7
How do I divide? 268 ÷ 7 Step 1 Estimate decide where to place the first digit in the quotient. Step 2 Divide the hundreds. Multiply and subtract Step 3 Bring down the tens. Divide the tens. Multiply and subtract. Step 4 Bring down the ones. Divide the ones. Multiply and subtract.
8
How do I check division? Multiplication and division are inverse operations. This means that you multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder.
