Understanding Division with Base 10 Blocks

This video tutorial explains the concept of division using base 10 blocks. It demonstrates how to divide 87 by 5 by modeling the number with rods and units, sharing them equally among five groups, and handling remainders. The process involves exchanging rods for units to facilitate equal distribution, ultimately showing that 87 divided by 5 equals 17 with a remainder of 2.

What is the main concept introduced in the video?

• Division using base 10 blocks

• Addition using base 10 blocks

• Subtraction using base 10 blocks

• Multiplication using base 10 blocks

How is the number 87 represented using base 10 blocks?

• 8 units and 7 rods

• 27 units

• 47 units

• 57 units

How many units are shared with each group?

• 6 units

• 8 units

• 5 units

• 7 units

What is the remainder when 87 is divided by 5?

• 4

• 2

• 3

What is the quotient when 87 is divided by 5?

• 16

• 15

• 18

• 17

What does each group contain after the division process?

• One rod and seven units

• One rod and six units

• One rod and five units

• One rod and eight units
