Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1: How do you solve division problems?

Ans: To solve division problems, we read the problem and identify the dividend and the divisor. Then, we divide the dividend by the divisor either mentally or by using long division method. We may also need to solve the problem further to get to the final answer.

Q2: What is a division fact for 5th Graders?

Ans: Division facts are the division number sentences related to times tables. Therefore: 30 ÷ 3 = 10, 27 ÷ 3 = 9 and 24 ÷ 3 = 8 are all division facts for the three times table. By year 5, children know all of their times tables up to 12 x 12, and the corresponding division facts. They use the division facts to solve division problems involving larger numbers.

Q3: How do you divide numbers using long division?

Ans: To divide numbers using long division, we put the divisor outside the division box and dividend inside it. We identify the first one or two digits that are closest to multiple of divisor which is either equal or less than first one or two digits. We write the multiple in quotient box and below the digits in the dividend. Then, we subtract the multiple of divisor from first digits of the dividend. Then answer obtained is the remainder in this case. We bring down the next digit of dividend and repeat the same process till we obtain the final remainder which is either 0 or a number less than the divisor.

The previous grade fosters reasoning skills in kids to derive an arithmetic expression from the given word problem. With suitable operators to swiftly add, subtract, multiply and divide 4-digit numbers by a single-digit number; the result of “division” operation is computed in terms of quotient and remainder. Also, long division methods and division by multiples of 10 and 100 enable to quickly divide the numbers and obtain a precise answer.

In grade 5, the 2-digit divisors are introduced to further enhance the skills for advanced math. Understanding of concepts like know-how technique to form multiplication tables; kids assimilate the proficiency in the estimation of the divisor and dividend to the nearest multiple of 10. The technique boosts fast math skills and enables kids to estimate the quotients as well. The apprehension of “division” to fractional numbers and place value system is instrumental in learning measurements and cognate the conversion techniques.

What is “Division”?

“Division” as a math technique for the 5th graders is narrated as:

“Formulation of a fair sharing model to divide the number (dividend) in the specified number of groups (divisor)”.

For example:

Math Games for Teaching Division

The abstract knowledge of foundational math skills is enhanced in each grade to learn the applicability and practical aspects. “Division” as a math essential begins by creating a partition model to conceptualize and associated it with visual observation. Fun learning math games for SplashLearn further hones the proficiency in dividing 4-digit numbers by a single-digit number and computing the quotient and the remainder (if any). Easy-to-grasp math games aligned to common core math standards for grade-5 extend the skill to the division of numbers involving fractions and double-digit divisors.

Well-formulated games assist kids to excel in math and engage in efficient homeschooling.

Learning and outcome:

In the 5th grade, reasoning to comprehend a word problem is nurtured by formulating valid expressions. Kids learn to use standard algorithms and the corresponding properties of the math operations (such as the distributive property of multiplication; as a x b = b x a). With the knowledge of the base-10 system and estimating the closest multiple of 10 corresponding to a number; kids learn to strategically break the dividend and the divisor apart in base-10 units for estimating the quotient.

Projected learning outcomes are listed as follows:

Discovering a pattern or structure to add, subtract, multiply and divide whole numbers, fractions, and numbers for graphical representation
Understanding and generalize patterns to solve arithmetic expressions using arithmetic operations
Comprehending the fair sharing model by evaluating quotient in the decimal form
Applying the distributive property to find the quotient place by place, starting from the highest place
Estimating the closest base-10 multiple for dividend and divisor to incorporate mental computation and nurture fast math skills
Dividing fractions and 4-digit numbers by a 2-digit divisor & fraction
Representing the math expressions & quotient using the place value system

Required math skills:

To learn the “division” operation involving fractions and 2-digit division, required math essentials insist fluently solving single-step and multistep math operations. These operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of 4-digit numbers. The significant command in multiplying double-digit number to the single-digit number for close estimation is helpful in working on long division method.

Comprehension of the place-value system along with the interpretation in base-10 blocks and unit blocks are instrumental in the cultivation of visual observation skills to divide by fractional divisors.

Engagement:

SplashLearn worksheets encourage kids to think logically with reasoning and language comprehension to understand math concepts. Unique, engaging and interactive interface with a colorful theme-based display foster deep-rooted concepts in kids. Following a well-planned routine to solve the comprehensive exercises assists in fast mental calculations and excel in math without any fear.

The upcoming section discusses the different cases with 2-digit numbers & fractional values as the divisor and corresponding decimal arithmetic.

Division by 2-digit numbers

To divide a number (between 10 and 10,000) by a 2-digit divisor (between 10 and 99), the long division method is followed. Two possible answers in such division are either whole number as a quotient or a quotient with a remainder. The remainder will always be less than the divisor.

Division without remainder

To divide a number by a two-digit divisor, consider an example as follows:

Divide 425 by 25

25 )¯425 ( 17 → Quotient

– 25↓ _ →25 x 1 = 25

175

– 175 → 25 x 7 = 175

000 → No Remainder

To solve the problem using fast math skills, estimate the closest value (a multiple of 10s and closer to the dividend) which upon subtraction will yield 0 or a remainder less than the divisor. For example,

25 x 4 = 100
So, 25 x 8 = 200
As, 200 – 25 = 175, thus 25 x 7 = 175 and it can be subtracted from the remaining dividend.

Division with remainder

As discussed previously, the division result may end in a quotient and a remainder. Consider the following example:

Divide 738 by 22

22 )¯738 ( 33 → Quotient

– 66↓ _ →22 x 3 = 66

078

– 066 → 22 x 3 = 66

012 → Remainder

As 20 is closer to 22 than 30, rewrite the divisor as 20
Similarly, 738 can be written as 700
Thus, a new equation is: 700 ÷ 20

20 )¯700 ( 35 → Quotient

– 60↓ _ →20 x 3 = 60

100

– 100 → 20 x 5 = 100

000 → No Remainder

With the estimation of dividend and the divisor, kids can easily find out the closest value of quotient in math puzzles.

Division with fractional values

As kids learn the division techniques for whole numbers and dividing the number by a multi-digit divisor (single digit and two-digit), learning the “division” by fractional values turns easy.

Following chart illustrates the multiple cases of the division with unit fractional values.

$Division with fractional value$

Divide a unit fraction by a whole

To divide a unit fraction by a whole number, illustration similar to a line plot is helpful in understanding the method.

For example, divide 1/7 by 3
Divide a line into 7 equal portions, further dividing each of them into 3 equal portions
The total number of portions can be calculated as:

÷ 3 ➔ X ➔ ➔
Unit multiplication property of multipliers is used to frame the equation

Reference image: To divide 1/7 by 3, divide 1/7 into 3 blocks each.

Divide whole by a unit fraction

As the numbers are interchanged, a case in which a dividend is a whole number and the divisor is a unit fraction, the “division” equation is similarly framed using the line plot. The only difference is in the numerator instead of the denominator.

For example, divide 3 by 1/5
Divide a line into 3 equal portions, further dividing each of them into 5 equal portions
The total number of portions can be calculated as:

3 ÷ ➔ 3 X ➔ ➔ ➔ 15
Unit multiplication property of multipliers is used to frame the equation

The problem can be visually observed as the total number of boxes contained within 3 units.

Reference image: To divide 3 by 1/5, count the number of blocks

Division in decimal arithmetic

The previous section illustrates the division of unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions. In decimal arithmetic, the division is performed by representing the decimal values in a fractional form with the denominator as a multiple of 10. The denominator is evaluated by the place value of decimal.

Following chart illustrates some examples of division problems involving decimal arithmetic.

Divide decimals by a multiple of 10

To divide a decimal number by a multiple of 10, adjustment in the place value of decimal is the first step. The decimal is adjusted to the left by one place with each 10.

Divide decimals by a whole

To divide a decimal number by a whole number, place value system to rewrite a decimal number is helpful in framing an easy division equation. Following the method of long division or short division as per the multi-digit divisor, an equation can be solved as illustrated in the example.

Decimal division

To divide a decimal number by another decimal number, division equations are framed with the knowledge of place value system and cancellation of base 10 multiples with each other. The concept is illustrated with an example for understanding the technique.

Application

“Division” operation using decimal arithmetic, unit fractions, and the multi-digit divisor is the foundation of learning measurement, data representation, and geometry. Also, in practical aspects, the concept is used widely for drawing maps, re-scaling measurements such as length and height proportionately, converting physical quantities like weight and capacity etc. to different units (metric and US customary) for easy interpretation.
