In this Grade 5 lesson from Illustrative Mathematics Chapter 4, students practice multi-digit division using the partial quotients strategy to build fluency and accuracy. Learners apply their understanding of place value to break division problems into manageable parts, recording each partial quotient step by step. This lesson reinforces the division concepts developed throughout the chapter's focus on wrapping up multiplication and division with multi-digit numbers.
Section 1
Applying the Partial Quotients Algorithm
To find the final quotient using the partial quotients method, add all the individual partial quotients together.
The process is complete when the remaining dividend is less than the divisor.
Section 2
Dividing When a Partial Dividend is Smaller than the Divisor
If a partial dividend is less than the divisor, place a in the corresponding place value of the quotient. Then, bring down the next digit to form a new partial dividend.
Section 3
Finding a Missing Dimension of a Rectangular Prism
If you know the volume of a rectangular prism and two of its three dimensions (length, width, height), you can find the missing dimension by using division.
Given the volume formula :
