In this Grade 4 Eureka Math lesson from Chapter 15, students learn to divide multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000 by single-digit numbers using place value understanding and unit form. Students practice expressing division expressions such as 900 ÷ 3 as "9 hundreds ÷ 3" to apply basic facts across place value units, including decomposing mixed-unit dividends like 350 ÷ 5. Place value disk models and a thousands place value chart support students in building fluency with this foundational division strategy.
Section 1
Divide Using Basic Facts and Place Value
To divide a multiple of 10, 100, or 1,000, you can think of the dividend in terms of its largest place value unit. The division problem then becomes a basic fact, and the quotient will have the same unit.
Section 2
Finding the Value of One Unit in a Tape Diagram
A tape diagram models division by showing a total amount (the dividend) broken into a number of equal parts (the divisor). The value of one part is the quotient.
