Area Model Division

Front

What is the area model in division?

Back

A visual representation that helps to divide numbers by breaking them into smaller, more manageable parts.

Front

What is a quotient?

Back

The result of division, showing how many times one number is contained within another.

Front

How do you find the quotient using the area model?

Back

By adding the areas of the smaller rectangles formed in the model.

Front

What does it mean to divide using an area model?

Back

It means to represent the division problem visually, using rectangles to show how the dividend is split into equal parts.

Front

What is the first step in using an area model for division?

Back

Identify the dividend and the divisor.

Front

If you have a dividend of 370 and a divisor of 5, what is the first step in the area model?

Back

Break down 370 into parts that can be easily divided by 5.

Front

What goes in the highlighted box if the area model shows 20 and 4?

Back

4.

Front

What is the final step of finding the quotient in an area model?

Back

Add the areas of all the smaller rectangles.

Front

If the area model shows 600 + 20 + 4, what does this represent?

Back

The total area that needs to be added to find the quotient.

Front

What is the quotient of the area model if it shows 600 + 1,200?

Back

1,800.
