Dividing decimals (tenths and hundredths) by using base ten (block) models
Using base ten (block) models, draw and solve the division statements where one whole is represented by a hundred block (square).
1. 4.0 ÷ 10 =
2. 0.5 ÷ 10 =
3. 3.2 ÷ 10 =
Dividing decimals (thousandths) by using base ten (block) models
Using base ten (block) models, draw and solve the division statements where one whole is represented by a thousand block (cube).
1. 2 ÷ 1000 =
2. 1.6 ÷ 100 =
3. 0.57 ÷ 10 =
Decimal division word problem
Looking at the division statement: 0.26 divided by 10³
1. How many decimal place values does the dividend 0.26 have?
2. What number does 10³ represent?
3. How many places does the decimal point move? And in which direction?
4. What is the answer to the division question? What is the smallest place value in the answer?
Decimal division word problem (working backwards)
Write the decimal division equation by working backwards to find the original dividend:
1. A number is divided by 10 and the result is 23.1 - what was the original number?
2. A number is divided by 100 and the result is .039 - what was the original number?
3. A number is divided by 1000 and the result is 461.785 - what was the original number?
