Elaborations
- • Elaboration interpreting and solving everyday division problems such as, “How many buses are needed if there are 436 passengers, and each bus carries 50 people?”, deciding whether to round up or down in order to accommodate the remainder and justifying choices
- • Elaboration solving division problems mentally like 72 divided by 9, 72 ÷ 9, by thinking, “how many 9s make 72”, ? \times 9 = 72 or “share 72 equally 9 ways”
- • Elaboration using the fact that equivalent division calculations result if both numbers are divided by the same factor
