Dividing by One-Digit Numbers
Learning Objective
I can divide multi-digit numbers by one-digit divisors using strategies based on place value.
Key Concepts
The box method of division is similar to traditional long division, but it helps with organization and keeping columns lined up.
The steps for the box method are divide, multiply, subtract, bring up, and repeat.
When using the box method, the answer is found on top of the box, not at the bottom; the number at the bottom is the remainder.
