2. Chapter 1: Vocabulary Words
Divide - To separate into equal groups; the opposite
operation of multiplication
Dividend – Total amount ~ the number being divided in a
division problem
Example: 500 ÷ 10 = 50
Divisor – The number that divides the dividend ~
number of equal groups or number in each group
Example: 500 ÷ 10 = 50
Quotient – The answer to a division problem (not including
the remainder)
Example: 500 ÷ 10 = 50
3. Vocabulary continued
Equation – uses an equal sign to show that two
amounts are equal
Inverse Operations – operations that undo one
another
Example: multiplication & division; addition & subtraction
Variable – a letter or symbol that stands for one or more
numbers
Remainder – the amount left over when a number cannot be
divided equally
Example: 501 ÷ 10 = 50 r1
4. Vocabulary continued
Distributive Property - The property that
states that multiplying a sum by a
number is the same as multiplying each
addend by the number and then adding
the products
Partial Quotients - A method of dividing
in which multiples of the divisor are
subtracted from the dividend and then
the quotients are added together.

Five types of turtles live in Florida’s waters. They are
the green turtle, the hawksbill, the Kemp’s ridley, the
leatherback, and the loggerhead.
Suppose there are 63 rescued sea turtles. They are
divided equally among 4 large tanks. Any turtles left
over are put in a small tank. How many turtles are in
each large tank? How many are in the small tank?
Use the base-ten blocks to solve.

There are _____ sea turtles in each of the 4 tanks and
____ sea turtles in the small tank.

Division & Multiplication
Use multiples of the divisor to help you solve a simpler
problem.
Mark works in an animal shelter. To feed 6
dogs, Mark empties seven 12-ounce cans of
dog food into a large bowl. If he divides the
food equally among the dogs, how many
ounces of food will each dog get?
What multiples of 6 add up to 84?
15. Solve a simpler problem
84 ÷ 6
(60 + 24) ÷ 6
Now you are going divide each of the addends by
the divisor.
(60 ÷ 6) + (24 ÷ 6)
After you have divided each smaller problem add up
the two quotients.
10 + 4 = 14
Therefore, 84 ÷ 6 = 14
16. Rules for solving a simpler division
problem (distributive property)
The two smaller dividends MUST add up
to the original dividend.
Example: (91 ÷ 7)
(70 + 21) = 91
The two smaller dividends MUST be
evenly divisible by the divisor.
Example: (70 ÷ 7) + (21 ÷ 7)
10 + 3
The divisor NEVER changes.

Estimate Quotients and Use Mental Math
Susan is biking the 42-mile Suncoast Trail from
north of Brooksville to Land O’Lakes. She plans to
stop every 5 miles along the trail to drink water.
About how many times does Susan plan to stop for
water on the trail?
What phrase is used to indicate you are looking for an estimate and not
an exact answer?
Estimate 42 ÷ 5
Use multiplication: 5 x __ = 40 5 x __ = 45
Use division: 40 ÷ 5 = __ 45 ÷ 5 = __
Since ___ is closest to 42, a good estimate for 42 ÷ 5 is about ___.
So, Susan will stop for water about ___ times.
24. Mental Math – Use the Distributive Property can help you rewrite a
dividend so it’s easier to divide.
Example 1: Divide 76 ÷ 4
Step 1 – Break apart the dividend into addends whose sums
equal the dividend. These addends should be easily divisible by
the divisor.
○ (40 + 36) ÷ 4
Step 2 – Use mental math to divide the addends by 4.
○ (40 ÷ 4) + ( 36 ÷ 4)
10 + 9
Therefore, 76 ÷ 4 = 19
Example 2: Divide 51 ÷ 3
You can use a close dividend and compensate by adding or
subtracting the difference.
Think: 51 is close to 60, and you can mentally divide by 3.
Think: 51 is 9 less than 60. Compensate by subtracting 9 from 60.
(60 – 9) ÷ 3
(60 ÷ 3) - (9 ÷ 3)
20 - 3
Therefore, 51 ÷ 3 = 17
