Understanding Division and the Box Method

The video tutorial introduces the box method for division, demonstrating it with two examples: dividing 4920 by 12 and 8024 by 11. The instructor explains each step in detail, emphasizing the importance of understanding multiplication facts and handling remainders. The session concludes with a preview of the next lesson on the standard algorithm for division.

What is the first step in the box method for division?

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend.

• Place the dividend inside the box.

• Multiply the dividend by the divisor.

• Place the divisor inside the box.

How is the divisor positioned in the box method?

• Below the box.

• Above the box.

• Outside the box.

• Inside the box with the dividend.

What do you do after placing the divisor outside the box?

• Box each digit of the dividend.

• Add the divisor to the dividend.

• Multiply the divisor by the dividend.

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend.

When starting the division, what is the first question to ask?

• How many times does the divisor fit into the entire dividend?

• What is the product of the divisor and the first digit of the dividend?

• How many groups of the divisor can be made from the first digit of the dividend?

• What is the sum of the divisor and the first digit of the dividend?

What do you do if the divisor cannot fit into the first digit of the dividend?

• Subtract the divisor from the first digit.

• Multiply the divisor by the first digit.

• Move to the next digit of the dividend.

• Write a zero in the quotient.

How do you proceed after finding the first part of the quotient?

• Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

• Subtract the divisor from the next digit.

• Multiply the divisor by the next digit.

• Add the divisor to the next digit.

What is the next step after bringing down a digit in the box method?

• Add the divisor to the new number.

• Determine how many groups of the divisor can be made from the new number.

• Subtract the divisor from the new number.

• Multiply the divisor by the new number.
