Area Model Division NC.5.NBT.6

Front

What is the area model in division?

Back

The area model is a visual representation used to illustrate division by breaking down numbers into smaller, more manageable parts, allowing students to see how the numbers relate to each other.

Front

What does the term 'divisor' mean?

Back

The divisor is the number by which another number (the dividend) is divided in a division problem.

Front

What is a 'quotient'?

Back

The quotient is the result of dividing one number by another.

Front

What does 'remainder' mean in division?

Back

The remainder is the amount left over after division when the dividend is not evenly divisible by the divisor.

Front

How do you represent division using the area model?

Back

In the area model, you can represent division by creating a rectangle where the area represents the dividend, and the length and width represent the divisor and quotient.

Front

What is the relationship between multiplication and division?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations; if you multiply the quotient by the divisor, you will get the dividend.

Front

How can you check your division answer?

Back

You can check your division answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor and adding the remainder (if any) to see if it equals the dividend.

Front

What is the purpose of using the area model for division?

Back

The area model helps students visualize the division process, making it easier to understand how numbers are broken down and how to find the quotient.

Front

What is the dividend in a division problem?

Back

The dividend is the number that is being divided by the divisor.

Front

If the divisor is 63 and the quotient is 2, what is the dividend?

Back

The dividend is 126, calculated by multiplying the divisor (63) by the quotient (2).
