Learning Objective

I can divide multi-digit numbers by one-digit divisors using strategies based on place value.

  • 1

    The box method of division is similar to traditional long division, but it helps with organization and keeping columns lined up.

  • 2

    The steps for the box method are divide, multiply, subtract, bring up, and repeat.

  • 3

    When using the box method, the answer is found on top of the box, not at the bottom; the number at the bottom is the remainder.
