Finding Missing Dividends Techniques

The video tutorial covers division with missing numbers, focusing on finding missing dividends or divisors. It introduces the FM rule for when the first number is missing, requiring multiplication, and the opposite rule for the second number, requiring division. The teacher provides examples and encourages students to pause and practice. The video also addresses how to rewrite confusing division questions for clarity.

What is the main focus of the video tutorial?

• Finding missing dividends or divisors

• Long division techniques

• Addition and subtraction methods

• Multiplication shortcuts

In the first example, what number is 53,000 divided by to get 1,000?

• 53,000

• 5,300

• 530

• 53

What technique is used to simplify the division problem in the first example?

• Adding zeros

• Ignoring zeros

• Multiplying by ten

• Subtracting numbers

In the second example, what number is 240 divided by to get 1?

• 2.4

• 2,400

• 240

• 24

What is the key step in solving the second example?

• Adding zeros to the dividend

• Subtracting the divisor

• Crossing out zeros mentally

• Using a calculator

In the third example, what number is 580 divided by to get 1?

• 58

• 580

• 5,800

• 5.8

What is the purpose of the third example?

• To demonstrate a multiplication method

• To practice the same technique with a different number

• To introduce a new division technique

• To show how to add zeros

What is the result of dividing 325 by 5 in the straightforward example?

• 75

• 60

• 65

• 70

What does FM stand for in the context of finding a missing dividend?

• First Multiply

• Final Multiply

• First Method

• Final Method

How do you find a missing dividend using the FM rule?

• Subtract the quotient from the divisor

• Add the divisor and quotient

• Multiply the divisor by the quotient

• Divide the divisor by the quotient
