Long division with 2-digit divisors
For 156 ÷ 12, notice that 12 × 10 = 120, leaving 36. Since 12 × 3 = 36, the quotient is 10 + 3 = 13.
Try an example
Division can share equally or make groups. Sharing 24 counters among 6 people gives 4 each; making groups of 6 gives 4 groups. Both are written 24 ÷ 6 = 4, although they answer different questions.
What to check
Connect division to multiplication: 6 × 4 = 24 checks the answer. A remainder must be smaller than the divisor. In a word problem, explain whether it represents leftover objects or an amount that needs a further decision.
Explain and check
Work through one example aloud before independent practice. To check 18 + 7 = 25, calculate 25 − 7. If a word problem asks about meters or coins, include that unit and check whether the answer fits the situation.
