Description
Students will be able to
1) To understand how and why the long division algorithm works
2) To use mathematically specific language to describe the steps in long division with meaning (rather than “divide, multiply, subtract, pull down)
Long division is one of the most difficult algorithms in arithmetic, and it is completely forgotten by many students. Using the blocks and proper mathematical language will help bring some meaning to this procedure.
**Print 2 sliders per page so students can use the provided area model to solve.
4.NBT.B.6 Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
