Exploring Decimal Division Models

The video tutorial by Hampton introduces different models for understanding decimal division. It begins with an explanation of using money as a model, where a dollar and twenty-three cents are divided into three equal groups. The tutorial then transitions to using place value blocks to demonstrate the same division problem, reinforcing the concept visually. Students are encouraged to practice the problem using these models, with a focus on understanding the division process and verifying results through multiplication. The video concludes with a recap, ensuring students can identify the total, groups, and quotient in decimal division problems.

What is the first step in setting up a decimal division problem?

• Use a calculator

• Ask a friend for help

• Get a whiteboard

• Write the problem in your notebook

How do you split a dollar and twenty-three cents into three equal groups using money?

• By using nickels

• By using half-dollars

• By using dimes and pennies

• By using quarters

What should you do to verify your division result?

• Multiply the quotient by the divisor

• Add the numbers

• Divide the quotient by the divisor

• Subtract the numbers

What is another model used to solve the division problem besides money?

• Pie charts

• Number lines

• Fraction strips

• Place value blocks

How do you split one whole and twenty-three hundredths using place value blocks?

• By using halves

• By using thirds

• By using tenths and hundredths

• By using quarters

What is the quotient when one whole and twenty-three hundredths is divided by three?

• 0.41

• 0.21

• 0.51

• 0.31

What should you do after shading in the models to represent the division problem?

• Erase the shading

• Check the total amount shaded

• Add more shading

• Remove some shading

How many groups should you split the total amount into for the division problem?

• Five

• Four

• Three

• Two

What is the total amount you start with in the division problem?

• 1.43

• 1.23

• 1.33

• 1.13

What is the final step in solving the division problem using models?

• Verify the quotient

• Shade the models

• Write the problem

• Check the number of groups
