How to Divide Using an Area Model

The video tutorial introduces the concept of dividing using partial quotients, also known as the box model. It explains the importance of place value in breaking down large numbers into smaller, more manageable chunks for division. The tutorial demonstrates the use of an area model to visually represent the division process and highlights the benefits of this approach for different learning styles. Practice problems are provided to reinforce the method, and a review of key concepts concludes the session.
