4th grade math · Unit 3: Division

Sharing with blocks

What this lesson shows

366 ÷ 3 by sharing hundreds, tens, and ones into 3 trays, on the sharing mat.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: 366 ÷ 3. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

Helping at home

Draw the number as quick pictures: a square for each hundred, a stick for each ten, a dot for each one. Share the hundreds first, then the tens, then the ones, into equal groups. One group is the answer.

If your kid gets stuck

Draw the blocks, then share one place at a time.
