Grade 5 - Number

Standard 5.N.6 - Practice division word problems with dividends up to 100.

Included Skills:

Demonstrate, with and without concrete materials, an understanding of division (3-digit by 1-digit), and interpret remainders to solve problems.
• Model the division process as equal sharing, using base ten blocks, and record it symbolically.
• Explain that the interpretation of a remainder depends on the context:
- ignore the remainder; e.g., making teams of 4 from 22 people.
- round up the quotient; e.g., the number of five passenger cars required to transport 13 people.
- express remainders as fractions; e.g., five apples shared by two people.
- express remainders as decimals; e.g., measurement and money.
• Solve a given division problem in context, using personal strategies, and record the process.
• Refine personal strategies to increase their efficiency.
• Create and solve a division problem, and record the process.
• Solve a given problem using the standard/traditional division algorithm.
