In this lesson, you will use base ten blocks and models to introduce and practice three alternative division strategies: fair sharing, area model, and partial quotients, as well as a brief introduction into the standard algorithm. This lesson is meant to be done with your students, ideally in small groups, but is also appropriate for whole group direct instruction. You will want to be able to use manipulatives, such as base-10 blocks to model the problems with your students. This notebooking se
