Partial Quotients
Subtract easy groups of 12 until none are left.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 25
- Partial quotients means taking away easy groups until nothing is left. Let's divide 3,276 by 12.
- 200 groups of 12 is 2,400. Take that away, and 876 is left.
- 70 groups of 12 is 840. Now 36 is left. Then 3 groups of 12 is 36, and nothing is left.
- Add the groups on the right: 200, 70, and 3. The quotient is 273. Any easy groups work, so two people can take different steps and still agree.
Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards:
- 5.NR.2.2 — Fluently divide multi-digit whole numbers (up to 4-digit dividends and 2-digit divisors no greater than 25) to solve practical problems.
