Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What is a quotient? What is a divisor? How can you use an area model to solve a multiplication problem?

After the Game

What are the steps we can use to break up a difficult division problem into smaller parts? If you need to divide 315 by 5, how could you split 315 into numbers that are simpler to divide by 5 (like 300 and 15)? How can we show that division is the inverse of multiplication? When is it appropriate to use the area model distribute instead of the place value distribute to solve a division problem?
