Key concepts students will learn:

  • The area model breaks down larger numbers by place value into smaller chunks that are easier to divide.

  • When using the area model to divide 125 ÷ 5, we break 125 down into 100, 20, and 5.

  • Partial quotients is a great way to show your thinking and to make math a little bit more visual.
