Different ways to look at DIVISION :) :) :)

Yes indeed.  Division does deserve three smiley faces.

Try out some new ways to look at division:

Divide numbers using rectangular arrays.

Divide with an area model.

Try the distributive property for division.

Check out decomposing the division problem.
This is so cool it deserves a second link.

Of course there is always good old fashioned loooonnnggg division.

Try some word problems (read carefully to see if you multiply or divide).
Someone stop me before I divide again!

  1. Hi! I looked at decomposing the division problem and it was so cool. You break down the number into 2 numbers that divide easily by the number you are dividing by, divide, add up the answers, and you have your answer!-Alexandra
