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.
