Division Strategies and Problem Solving

This video tutorial introduces level 4 division, which involves dividing multi-digit numbers by two-digit numbers. It provides step-by-step solutions to example problems, highlighting the challenges and guesswork involved in estimating how many times a divisor fits into a dividend. The tutorial covers three examples: dividing 6,250 by 25, 2,265 by 15, and 5,978 by 67, the last of which includes a remainder. The video emphasizes the importance of estimation and trial and error in solving these problems.
