Section 1
Model Division with Place Value Disks
Property
To divide a number using place value disks, distribute the disks for each place value, starting with the largest (tens), into a number of equal groups determined by the divisor.
In this Grade 4 Eureka Math lesson from Chapter 13, students learn to solve two-digit dividend division problems where a remainder appears in the ones place by modeling the process with place value disks. Students practice distributing tens and ones into equal groups using long division notation, connecting the physical disk model to the written algorithm. The lesson builds on prior work with single-digit dividends and remainders to develop fluency with problems like 36 ÷ 3 and interpreting what remains after equal distribution.

Model Division with Place Value Disks
To divide a number using place value disks, distribute the disks for each place value, starting with the largest (tens), into a number of equal groups determined by the divisor.
Section 2
Recording Quotients and Remainders
When a dividend is not perfectly divisible by a divisor, the whole number left over is the remainder (). The result is recorded in the format: Quotient R Remainder, or . The remainder must always be less than the divisor ().
