What does the dividend represent?
The total number being divided.
54/25
2 R 4
I have about 1,207 dimes. Round 1,207 to the nearest tens place and divide by 10 to see how much money I have.
1,210/10=121

What does the divisor represent?
The number you are dividing by
687/25
27 R12

47/6=7 R5
Student A says to check 5,487/5=1,097 R 2 you take 1,097x5
Student B says you have to take the quotient multiply it by the divisor and add in the remainder.
Which student is correct?
Student B. In order to accurately check your answer. Your multiplication must equal your dividend. You can't forget to add in any remainder.
1,097x5= 5,485
5,485+2=5,487
5,487 is our dividend.
What does the quotient represent?
The answer to a division problem.
50,455/25
50,455/25=2018 R5

A)
This area model is showing one way to solve

Based on the calculations, select the answer to
A) The quotient would be 322 because 11 was multiplied by 300. The answer 22 was written in the tens and the ones place.
B) The quotient would be 392 because 11 was multiplied by 300, 90, and 2. The products can be added together to equal the original dividend of 4,312

The quotient would be 392 because 11 was multiplied by 300, 90, and 2. The products can be added together to equal the original dividend of 4,312
Calculate 4,956/13
Then express the remainder as a fraction in simplest form. (Remember: the denominator will be what your divisor was (13))
4,956/13= 381 R3
3/13
What is a remainder?
The amount left over.
45,864/12=
45,864/12=3,822

Blank 1: 11,028 because 10,500+528=11,028
Blank 2: 3 because 78-75=3
A classroom of 12 students had 145 stickers to share.
How many stickers does each student receive?
Each student receives 12 stickers.
145/12= 12 R1
Since you cannot split 1 sticker between 12 students you drop the remainder.
Identify the dividend, divisor, quotient, and remainder in the following division sentence.
27/2=13 R 1
27/2=13 R 1
Dividend: 27
Divisor: 2
Quotient: 13
Remainder: 1
30,888/44
30,888/44=702
If each dot represents 8 what would a division equation be

There are 5 dots in each row each dot equals 8. First identify how many are in each row 8x5=40. Then multiply by how many rows you have 40x6=240.
Then you can create a division sentence
240/6=40
FINAL JEOPARDY
Work with your team to solve the problem.
You must:
A treasure chest contains 27,005 gold coins.
The coins are divided equally among 55 pirates.
Part 1
Estimate how many coins each pirate will receive.
Part 2
Find the exact quotient.
Part 3
Will there be any coins left over?
Part 4
Show how you would check your answer using multiplication.
✅ Possible Estimates
Option A: Round Both Numbers
27,005 ≈ 27,000
55 ≈ 60
27,000 ÷ 60 = 450
Estimated Quotient:
About 450 coins
Option B: Round Divisor Down
27,005 ≈ 27,000
55 ≈ 50
27,000 ÷ 50 = 540
Estimated Quotient:
About 540 coins
Option C: Keep the Divisor
27,005 ≈ 27,500
27,500 ÷ 55 = 500
Estimated Quotient:
About 500 coins
Teacher Discussion
Ask:
Why might different groups get different estimates?
Explanation
All three estimates are reasonable because they help predict the exact quotient. The exact answer should fall somewhere near these estimates.
✅ Exact Answer
27,005 ÷ 55 = 491
There is no remainder.
✅ Check Using Multiplication
491 × 55
491 × 5 = 2,455
491 × 50 = 24,550
24,550 + 2,455 = 27,005
Since the product equals the dividend:
✅ The quotient is correct.
🌟 Final Discussion Question
Defend Your Strategy
Which estimate do you think was the most accurate and why?
Explanation
Different estimation strategies can be reasonable. The goal of estimation is not to find the exact answer. The goal is to find an answer that is close enough to help us predict whether our final answer makes sense. 🏴☠️💰
