I can divide numbers with up to four-digit dividends by one-digit divisors using models, equations, and place-value strategies.
Standard cap: 4 - Analyze and compare division strategies.
Subskills what students must be able to do
- 1I can model division as equal groups or sharing.
- 2I can break a dividend into easier parts and use partial quotients/place value.
- 3I can find the quotient and remainder, explain how my representation matches the calculation, and check with multiplication.
