💛 Partial Quotient Task Day 83

Partial Quotient Task

Introduction

Greetings, Marvelous Mathematicians!  As you have been practicing how to solve division equations using partial quotient,  in this next lesson you will experience situations in which division may be used as a strategy to find the solution.  Remember, that when finding quotients in a real world situation, it could look different.   So, as you embark on solving the problems, utilize the following steps: 

  1. Read the problem and write a response statement.
  2. Reread the problem piece by piece and visualize what is happening in the word problem using a drawing or diagram.  Remember to read the problems as many times as you need to in order to understand what is going on. Also, label your visual with numbers and words to make the diagram clear.
  3. Write an equation that helps to represent the visual/word problem.
  4. Solve the problem using a strategy of your choice.
  5. Complete your response statement.
