Division with the Standard Algorithm and Partial Quotients

The video tutorial covers division using two strategies: the standard algorithm and partial quotients. The standard algorithm is explained with a mnemonic 'Dad Monkeys Smell Bad' to remember the steps: divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down. An example of dividing 6479 by 31 is demonstrated. The partial quotients method is introduced as an alternative, with an example of dividing 1648 by 21. Both methods are explained in detail to help students understand and apply them effectively.

What is the mnemonic used to remember the steps of the standard division algorithm?

• Cats Eat Fish

• Dogs Make Sandwiches

• Birds Fly High

• Dad Monkeys Smell Bad

In the standard algorithm, what should you do if you cannot divide the current number?

• Multiply by zero

• Add a zero to the quotient

• Bring down the next number

• Skip the step

How many groups of 31 can be made from 64 in the example provided?

• Three

• Two

• One

• Four

What is the nickname given to the partial quotients method?

• Wide 3

• Tall 9

• Long 7

• Short 5

When using the partial quotients method, what is the first step?

• Multiply by 10

• Subtract the largest chunk

• Estimate the largest chunk

• Divide by the largest possible number

In the partial quotients example, how many groups of 21 were initially taken out?

• 50

• 80

• 70

• 60

What should be done with the remainder in the partial quotients method?

• Keep it as the remainder

• Add it to the quotient

• Ignore it

• Subtract it from the total
