Divide 3-Digit Numbers with Area Models 4-47
Divide using area models. What's 276÷4? Draw a rectangle with area 276 and short side of 4. What's the other side? 4 x __ = 276? Break the total area into partial areas. 276 = 240+36, so 276÷4 = (240÷4) + (36÷4). Since 4x60 = 240 and 4x9 = 36, 276÷4 = 60+9 = 69. Find and add partial quotients to get the total quotient.
