Back

The area model is a visual representation used to understand division by breaking down numbers into smaller, more manageable parts, often using rectangles to represent the dividend and divisor.

Front

How do you use the area model to divide 336 by 12?

Back

To divide 336 by 12 using the area model, you can break 336 into parts (like 300 and 36) and divide each part by 12, then add the results.

Front

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

Back

The first step is to identify the dividend (the number being divided) and the divisor (the number you are dividing by).
