Exploring Partial Quotients in Division

The video tutorial introduces the partial quotients strategy for division, explaining how it serves as a precursor to the traditional division algorithm. Through a series of examples, the instructor demonstrates how to divide numbers using this method, emphasizing the importance of breaking down the division process into manageable parts. Each example illustrates the step-by-step approach to finding partial quotients and adding them to reach the final answer.

What is the first step in the partial quotients strategy?

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend

• Multiply the divisor by the closest ten

• Draw a long line to separate subtraction from partial quotients

• Divide the dividend by the divisor traditionally
