Unpacked Content

Knowledge

Students know:
  • strategies for computing answers to division mathematical and real-world problems using the standard division algorithm.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Strategically choose and apply appropriate strategies for dividing.
  • Accurately find quotients using the standard division algorithm.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • Mathematical problems can be solved using a variety of strategies, models, and representations.
  • Efficient application of computation strategies is based on the numbers and operations in the problems,
  • The steps used in the standard algorithms for division can be justified by using properties of operations and understanding of place value.
  • Among all techniques and algorithms that may be chosen for accurately performing multi-digit computations, some procedures have been chosen with which all should be fluent for efficiency, communication, and use in other mathematics situations.
