Lesson 4

Estimating Quotients

Est. Class Sessions: 1

Summarizing the Lesson

Summarize the lesson by having students complete Questions 7–13 in the Estimation Problems section in the Student Guide, either individually or with partners. These problems require estimation strategies, but students must first interpret the situations as division problems. Remind students that exact answers are not required—only estimates.

Ask students to share their estimates and strategies for Questions 7–13. Help students identify a reasonable range for each problem and articulate how they determined their estimate.

  • What is the division problem?
  • How did you decide which math facts to use?
  • Do you find it easier to give your estimate using one number or using a range of numbers? Why?

Use Check-In: Questions 12–13 in the Estimation Problems section of the Estimating Quotients pages in the Student Guide to document students' progress toward estimating quotients for division of multidigit numbers by 1-digit numbers [E5].
