Multiplication and Division of Decimals

Lesson 12

Math

Unit 6

5th Grade

Lesson 12 of 23

Objective


Divide a decimal by a two-digit whole number that requires decomposition in the smallest place.

Common Core Standards


Core Standards

  • 5.NBT.B.7 — Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.

Foundational Standards

  • 5.NBT.A.1
  • 5.NBT.A.2
  • 5.NBT.B.6

Criteria for Success


  1. Estimate quotients of decimals divided by two-digit numbers by finding nearby compatible numbers, using that estimate to approximate the leading value in the actual quotient. 
  2. Adjust an estimate when the estimate would yield too large or too small a result. 
  3. Divide a decimal to the hundredths place by a two-digit whole number in which the smallest place-value unit needs to be decomposed using general methods, including using a base ten diagram and/or the partial quotients algorithm. 
  4. Check the answer to a division problem by using inverse operations, multiplying the quotient by the divisor and seeing if the product is equivalent to the dividend.

Anchor Tasks

25-30 minutes


Problem 1

Two different sports teams are fundraising to be able to afford their uniforms. The softball team needs to raise $90 between the twelve players on the team. The hockey team needs to raise $174 between the 24 players on the team. If each player raises the same amount of money, does each softball player or hockey player need to raise more?

Problem Set

15-20 minutes


Discussion of Problem Set

  • What division problem did you come up with for #2(b)? Is it possible to create a pair of division problems whose quotient and whole-number remainder look equal and actually are equal when decimal division is used?
  • The quotients for #3(a) and (b) are the same. Divide them again. This time, do not go beyond the ones place. Compare the whole-number remainders. What do you notice? Are the division equations equal to each other? Why or why not?
  • We expressed our remainders today using decimals. Does it always make sense to do this? Give an example of a situation where a whole-number remainder makes more sense. Do you notice a pattern to these examples?

Target Task
