1. 294 ÷ 14

2. Look at the division problem.  The divisor, 14, can be divided into the first two digits of the dividend, 29, since you can get groups of 14 out of 29.  Use the base 10 number to start dividing. 294 ÷ 14 divisor dividend

3.  Start a work space to multiply the divisor, 14, by multiples of ten until a product is close to 294 ◦ You get 14 x 100 = 140. 294 ÷ 14

4.  Draw a rectangle, and write the 140 from your work space inside the rectangle. 294 ÷ 14 140 14 10

5. Start a workspace subtracting the number in the rectangle from the dividend, 294 - 140. 294 ÷ 14 140 14 x 10 Subtracting workspace ______________ )294 - 14 0 154

6.  You see that 14 x 10 = 140 is less than 154.  You’ll have to multiply 14 times 10 again. 294 ÷ 14

7. Multiply 14 times 10 to get 140. You are left with 14. 294 ÷ 14 140 14 x 10 Subtracting workspace _______________ )294 - 14 0 154 - 140 14 140 10

8. You must figure out how many times 14 goes into 14. The answer is 1 so we add that to our area model. 294 ÷ 14 140 14 x 10 Subtracting workspace _______________ )294 - 14 0 154 - 140 14 - 14 0 140 10 1414 1

9. You find the quotient to the problem by adding the numbers on top. The answer is 21 294 ÷ 14 140 14 x 10 Subtracting workspace _______________ )294 - 14 0 154 - 140 14 - 14 0 140 10 1414 1+ + = 21
