Standards for Mathematical Practice

MP1.
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
MP2.
Reason quantitatively.
MP3.
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
MP4.
Model with mathematics.
MP6.
Attend to precision.
MP8.

Students practice estimating quotients as they play the game Quotient Quest. They use strategies to practice dividing multidigit numbers by one- and two-digit numbers and use models to solidify their understanding.

Content in this Lesson

  • Demonstrating understanding of division of multidigit numbers by one- and two-digit numbers using models [E1].

  • Interpreting remainders from division of multidigit numbers [E3].
  • Estimating quotients for division of multidigit numbers by one- and two-digit numbers [E5].
  • Dividing numbers that are multiples of ten [E6].
  • Dividing multidigit numbers by one- and two-digit divisors using paper and pencil [E7].
  • Knowing the problem [MPE1].

MPE1.
Know the problem. I read the problem carefully. I know the questions to answer and what information is important.
MPE2.
Find a strategy. I choose good tools and an efficient strategy for solving the problem.
MPE3.
Check for reasonableness. I look back at my solution to see if my answer makes sense. If it does not, I try again.
MPE5.
Show my work. I show or tell how I arrived at my answer so someone else can understand my thinking.
MPE6.
Use labels. I use labels to show what numbers mean.
