Exploring Strip Diagrams for Division

This video tutorial explains how to use strip diagrams to solve division problems. It covers three types of division situations: distributing items equally (one-for-you), grouping items (chunking), and using fractions. Examples include sharing bubblegum, placing flowers in vases, and solving puzzles and free throws using fractions.

What are the three types of division situations discussed in the video?

• Whole numbers, decimals, and percentages

• Addition, subtraction, and multiplication

• One for you, chunking, and fractions

• Linear, quadratic, and cubic

In a 'one for you' situation, what are you typically looking for?

• The number of groups

• The fraction of the total

• The number of items in each group

• The total number of items

How many pieces of bubblegum does each person receive if Joey shares 48 pieces among six people?

• 12

• 10

• 8

• 6

What is the equation used to find out how many pieces of bubblegum each person receives?

• 48 - 6 = ?

• 48 * 6 = ?

• 48 / 6 = ?

• 48 + 6 = ?

If each vase holds four flowers, how many vases can Ellen fill with 36 flowers?

• 7

• 8

• 9

• 6

What is the equation used to determine the number of vases Ellen can fill?

• 36 - 4 = ?

• 36 * 4 = ?

• 36 + 4 = ?

• 36 / 4 = ?

Kari completed one-fourth as many puzzles as Antonia. If Antonia completed 28 puzzles, how many did Kari complete?

• 7

• 6

• 8

• 5

What is the fraction situation equation used to find out how many puzzles Kari completed?

• 28 - 4 = ?

• 28 + 4 = ?

• 28 * 4 = ?

• 28 / 4 = ?

Chad made one-third as many free throws as Aaron. If Aaron made 12 free throws, how many did Chad make?

• 5

• 3

• 4

• 6

What is the fraction situation equation used to find out how many free throws Chad made?

• 12 + 3 = ?

• 12 - 3 = ?

• 12 * 3 = ?

• 12 / 3 = ?
