division problems in various forms.
• Students will be able to explain and apply
multi-digit division using standard algorithm.
• Students will be able to discuss long division using
correct vocabulary.

Vocabulary
• Algorithm: A formula or set of steps for
solving a problem.
• Division: Splitting of large numbers into equal
groups of smaller numbers.
• Dividend: Number being divided.
• Divisor: Number you are dividing by.
• Quotient: Answer to a division problem.

On a school field trip, your class
Warm Up
followed a treasure map and
found a buried treasure!
Imagine that your class has 25
students total, and that there
were 1000 gold coins in the
treasure chest.
How many coins does
each student get?
Express your
answer in three different
ways.
5
Warm Up
We found 1000 gold
coins, and need to divide
them equally between the
25 students in our class.
Express the problem in three ways.
_____
1000 =
1000 ÷ 25 = 25) 1000

Warm Up
So how many
coins does each
student get?
1000 =
25
1000 ÷ 25 =
_____
25) 1000
We’ll check back on this problem in a
little while!

How many
steps are
there?

Let’s apply the steps to long division
to a new problem:
84 ÷ 6 = ?
13

DIVIDE
MULTIPLY
SUBTRACT
BRING DOWN

Set up the problem: 84 ÷ 6 = ?
in the long division algorithm looks like which of
the options below?
CHOICE A
CHOICE B

8÷6=
Follow along with the
Guided Practice
Worksheet!
16
1
We divide the
dividend by the
divisor.
STEP TWO: MULTIPLY
6
6x1=
We multiply

STEP FOUR: BRING DOWN
4
We bring the 4 down
18
STEP THREE: SUBTRACT
2
8–6=
We subtract

STEP ONE: DIVIDE
4
24 ÷ 6 =
We divide
21

STEP TWO: MULTIPLY
24
6X4=
We multiply
22
24
STEP THREE: SUBTRACT
0
24 – 24 =
We subtract
23
0
STEP FOUR: BRING DOWN
There is no number
to bring down –
we’re almost
DONE!

Don’t forget to
check your answer!
The opposite of
84 ÷ 6 = 14 is
6 X 14 =
