Our lesson today increased the complexity of the example we are using to learn the standard algorithm. We learned how the same steps apply to dividing a four-digit dividend by a two-digit divisor.

How to use the standard algorithm for division
Today’s lesson focused on the steps we use for the standard algorithm. We compared today’s example to the simpler version from yesterday without a remainder. We noticed how the algorithm works because it takes advantage of place value to solve the question without many steps.
Division review
The second part of Unit 6 is understanding how to use the standard algorithm for division in word problems. We begin by reviewing our division vocabulary and connecting estimation and the partial algorithm (“magic 7”) to the standard algorithm.
