Decimal Division Using Area Models

This video tutorial explains how to perform decimal division using area models. It begins by representing the dividend with base ten blocks and setting up an area model. The process involves dividing whole numbers into groups, regrouping tenths, and determining the quotient. The video also covers methods to check the answer using inverse operations and traditional algorithms.

What is the main topic covered in this video?

• Subtraction of whole numbers

• Decimal division with area models

• Addition of fractions

• Multiplication of decimals

What is the first step in solving the division problem?

How many whole numbers are represented in the dividend?

• 25

• 10

• 4

• 6

What do you do when you can no longer divide the whole numbers evenly?

• Add more whole numbers

• Multiply the remaining whole numbers

• Regroup the remaining whole numbers

• 16.4

What is the value of each group after dividing the tenths?

• 4 wholes and 6 tenths

• 16 wholes and 4 tenths

• 6 wholes and 4 tenths
