Question 4 can be solved using mental math: 350 ÷ 7 = 50; 351 ÷ 7 = 50 R1.
- 29
- 89
- 96 R1
- 50 R1
Below is a sample solution strategy for 577 ÷ 6 using the all-partials method.
Remind students to check their answers using multiplication.
- 29 × 3 = 87
- 89 × 2 = 178
- 96 × 6 + 1 = 577
- 50 × 7 + 1 = 351
