Using Strategies & Algorithms to Divide up to a Four-digit Dividend by a One-digit Divisor

T.I.P.S.

Students must be able to divide up to a four-digit dividend by a one-digit divisor. They must use strategies and algorithms, including the standard algorithm for the division. While many process standards apply, certainly those related to the application of strategies fit.

Example

Charlotte’s older brother told her that he planned to graduate from college in 2,534. How many weeks will Charlotte’s brother have to wait for his graduation from college? Explain your thinking in each step of your work. Hint  Possible Solution 

TEKS

Supporting Standard  4.4 Number and operations. The student applies mathematical process standards to develop and use strategies and methods for whole number computations and decimal sums and differences in order to solve problems with efficiency and accuracy. The student is expected to: (F) use strategies and algorithms, including the standard algorithm, to divide up to a four-digit dividend by a one-digit divisor
