This is one possible method for using the area model for division.

With this division strategy, students divide by breaking the dividend into its expanded form. Then, students use familiar multiplication facts to divide. It is suggested that this would be the first of three strategies for division (preceding partial quotients and the standard algorithm.

This video was created by NCDPI. This video examines best practices and research related to developing computational fluency. Teaching strategies and tips are provided.

This video shows HOW and WHY we can shift decimals to make whole numbers when dividing.

Students will use candy to convert fractions to decimals and to discuss the ways in which this application might be used on a job, and what kind of jobs requires this skill.

In this lesson, students are given a budget of $500 to spend. They will use the shopping excursion to learn about fractions, decimals, and percents and use proportional relationships to solve multi-step ration and percent problems.

Interactive Resource allows the student to practice and learn division step by step using this long division activity.

This video lesson examines the meaning of the equal sign as we work to solve unknowns in multiplication and division equations.

This single player game helps students develop an understanding of the partial quotient strategy for division. It can also help students develop and understanding of division with and without remainders.

This is one possible way to use the partial quotient strategy for division.

In this video, 5th grade students use the partial quotient division strategy to solve a 3-digit by 1-digit division problem. While this class begins with a brain dump, it is not necessary.

In this Cyberchase activity, students begin by using manipulatives to share objects among different sized groups. After watching a video clip that demonstrates dealing out rounds (or sets) of objects to solve a problem, the students work on a few division problems on their own. A second video clip demonstrates how to solve such problems using numbers. With the handout, students learn to write these problems as multiplication and division facts.

This super-helpful chart outlines the mental math strategies students should be exposed to through Number Talks in grades K-5.  Each strategy is linked to a video of a teacher introducing/explaining how to use that stratgy.  This chart is the perfect companion for teachers implementing Number Talks in their classrooms!
