In this Grade 5 lesson from enVision Mathematics Chapter 5, students use place value and sharing to divide whole numbers by two-digit divisors, recording division with remainders using the standard long division algorithm. The lesson connects concrete place-value block models to the written procedure, helping students understand each step as they distribute tens and ones into equal groups. Students then apply this skill to real-world problems involving equal sharing and interpret the meaning of remainders in context.
Section 1
Generating Multiple Reasonable Estimates
To find different reasonable estimates for the same division problem, you can round the divisor to different nearby multiples of 10.
Each rounded divisor will lead to a different choice of compatible number for the dividend, resulting in multiple valid estimates.
Section 2
Interpreting Remainders in Word Problems
When solving a division word problem, the final answer depends on how the question asks you to interpret the remainder. The context of the problem determines whether you use the quotient, add 1 to the quotient, or use the remainder itself as the answer.
