Lesson: Dividing Three-Digit Numbers by Two-Digit Numbers: Area Models Mathematics • 5th Grade

In this lesson, we will learn how to use place value blocks and area models to model partial quotients when dividing three-digit numbers by two-digit numbers.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

model the division of a three-digit number by a two-digit number using area models,
use the distributive property to partition the dividend and calculate partial quotients,
choose the most appropriate ways to partition the dividend,
divide three-digit numbers by two-digit numbers using written methods.
