Section 1
Estimate Quotients Using Compatible Numbers
To estimate a quotient, change the dividend to a nearby compatible number that is easy to divide by the divisor. Compatible numbers are numbers that are easy to compute mentally, often using basic multiplication facts.
Section 2
Regrouping in Place Value Division
When dividing, any amount left over in a place value must be regrouped (or unbundled) into the next smaller place value before you can continue sharing.
Section 3
Using Partial Quotients to Record Sharing
The partial quotients algorithm is a method for recording the steps of sharing division.
Each time you share a place value, you record the result as a partial quotient.
The amount shared is multiplied by the divisor and subtracted from the dividend to find what remains to be divided.
