Multi-Digit Division

5th Grade

Dividing with Standard Algorithm 5.3C

It is important for us to know how we're feeling and how others are feeling so we know how to appropriately interact with each other.

​

Saturday Check-in

Solve with proficiency for quotients of up to a four-digit dividend by a two-digit divisor using strategies and the standard algorithm. 5.3C

​

Learning Goal: By the end of today's lesson, I should be able to:

​Effort is something we should reflect on. When we start an assignment we should set our intention for effort. I will give you my full effort. I will be asking you to reflect on your effort level at the end of the lesson.

Poll

How do you feel about your division skills?

• I am SUPER confident. I could teach this to others.

• I feel somewhat confident but feel like I need practice.

• I don't feel confident with it yet. I need patience and practice.

When dividing: Make sure you space out the numbers, that your numbers are clear and when possible, we're using graph paper to keep our numbers in order.

Math Tip: Double digit divisor? Work out on the side so you know what numbers to use.

​Concept Practice 1

​

Tavia volunteered to work at the city library for 22 days in the summer. During this time, she checked out a total of 4,686 books. What is the average number of books Tavia checked out each day?

​Math Tip:

Do you already have a total?

If yes- you will add or multiply

If no- you will subtract or divide

.

Will you get your answer from the quotient or remainder? Does your answer make sense?
