Unit 9, Lesson 6
What’s the Quotient?
Grade 4
Preparation
Lesson Narrative
In an earlier unit, students learned to use partial quotients to divide whole numbers up to four digits by single-digit divisors. In this lesson, students deepen their understanding of algorithms that use partial quotients and continue to build their fluency with multiplication and division. Students also analyze different ways to divide whole numbers and consider how to improve their efficiency.
If students need additional support with the concepts in this lesson, refer back to Unit 6, Section C in the curriculum materials.
