Dividing With A 1-Digit Quotient: Unit 2, Chapter 5 Lesson 2.5b

This document discusses using rounding and estimation to find the estimated quotient of division problems with 1-digit quotients. It explains that we can round the divisor to help estimate the quotient. Then we use the original numbers to check our estimate, revising the estimate if needed by adding or subtracting one. Estimated quotients help us make educated guesses about division problems. Examples are provided to demonstrate this process.

We can use rounding and
estimation to find the
estimated quotient of a
division problem.

89 ÷ 24
First, round
the divisor.

89 ÷ 24
Use the rounded
divisor to help you 4
guess the quotient.

20 x 4 = 80

89 ÷ 24 4
Use the original
numbers to check

your estimated - 96
quotient.

89 ÷ 24
Since the estimated

quotient was too 24 89
large, try one less.

We can revise our
estimated quotient easily
by adding or subtracting
one.

First, round
the divisor.

How many times
should 3 tens go
into 7 tens?
