Dividing Decimals and Basic Geometry

This video tutorial covers the concept of dividing decimals by whole numbers. It begins with an introduction to the topic and explains how models can be used to visualize the division process. The tutorial includes a practical example involving a picture frame and demonstrates the use of base 10 blocks to aid understanding. The video concludes with practice problems to reinforce the concepts learned.

What is the main topic of today's lesson?
