Objective: Divide twoand three-digit dividends by two-digit divisors with single-digit quotients and make connections to a written method.

Fluency Practice – Group Count by
Multi-Digit Numbers
• Count by 21 forward and backward, changing directions occasionally.
– 21, 42, 63, 84, 105, 126, 147, 168, 189, 210, 231,
252
• Count by 43 forward and backward, changing directions occasionally.
– 43, 86, 129, 172, 215, 258, 301, 344, 387, 430,
473

Fluency Practice – Estimate & Divide
• 607 ÷ 19
– 600 ÷ 20 = 30
• 123 ÷ 24
– 120 ÷ 20 = 6
• 891 ÷ 96
– 900 ÷ 90 = 10
• 5,482 ÷ 62
– 5,400 ÷ 60 = 90 (This is the best option for the estimate that will be closer to the actual answer. You don’t always have to follow the rounding rules in estimating.)
– 6,000 ÷ 60 = 100 (This will work, but will not be super close to the real answer.)

• Billy has 2.4 m of ribbon for crafts. He wants to share it evenly with 12 friends. How many centimeters of ribbon would 7 friends get?
– 1 st step convert 2.4 meters to centimeters
• 2.4 x 100 = 240 cm
– 2 nd step divide 240 cm by 12 (there are 12 friends)
• 240 ÷ 12 ( You could think of (24 x 10) ÷ 12 = 24 ÷ 12 x 10 = 24
÷12 = 2 x 10 = 20
– 20 cm per friend
– 3 rd step multiply 20 by 7 (because we want to know how many 7 friends would get)
• 20 x 7 = 140 cm
– Final step – statement of solution
• 7 of the friends would get 140 cm of ribbon.

• 72 ÷ 21
– 1 st – find a multiple of 20 close to 72 that makes this division easy. (Think of estimating first to help get close to the actual answer in the division process.)
• 60 ÷ 20 = 3
– Why chose 60 instead of 80?
• Because 80 ÷ 20 = 4 which is too big.
– What does our estimate of 3 tell us?
• That there is about 3 twenty-ones in 72.
• Where should we record our answer?
– In the ones place, because we are going into 72, not 7.

• 72 ÷ 21
– What is our next step?
• Multiple 21 x 3
– What is 21 x 3
• 63
– What is the next step?
• Subtract 63 from 72
– What is the answer of 72-63?
• 9
– What is the next step?
• Check to see if our difference is smaller than the divisor (21).

• 72 ÷ 21
– Is 9 smaller than 21?
• Yes
– What is the next step?
• Check to see if there are any more numbers to bring down.
– Is there any more numbers to bring down?
• No
– What is the quotient (answer to a division problem)?
• 3 r 9
– How did estimating help us?
• It gave us a place to start with in our division process.

• 72 ÷ 21
– Below is the long division steps we just did.

• How can we check our work?
– Take the quotient and times it by the divisor and then add the remainder.
• What is (21 x 3) + 9
– 63 + 9 = 72
• Does the answer match the dividend?
– Yes
• If you answered yes then you solved the problem correctly.

• 94 ÷ 43
– What would we estimate our dividend and divisor to? Why?
• 80 ÷ 40 = 2, because if we went to 120 ÷ 40 that would be too much.
– What number should we try first in the steps to division? Why?
• 2 because in our estimate we decided on 80 ÷ 40 = 2.
– Now complete the steps to solving the problem.
Use the standard algorithm.

• Now check your work.
– (43 x 2) + 8 = 86 + 8 = 94

• Solve using the standard algorithm and estimating (to help get started). Show all your work.
• What would be the estimate?
– 80 ÷ 20 (estimate) = 4
• (note if 4 is to big then try 1 group less, which is 3.)

– Solve using the standard algorithm and estimating.
