Divide by 2-Digit Divisors
Lesson 1: Using Patterns to Divide
Main Idea: Students find the quotients of division problems whose dividends and divisors are multiples of 10, where the division involves a basic fact. They learn how using basic facts and patterns can be helpful in dividing by multiples of 10.

Lesson 2: Estimating Quotients with 2-Digit Divisors
Main Idea: Students use estimation to find approximate solutions to quotients with two-digit divisors using compatible numbers. They learn that there is more than one way to estimate a quotient and substituting compatible numbers is an efficient technique for estimating quotients.
Standard(s): 5.NBT.B.6 Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
Steps:
1. write equation
2. look at divisor (smaller number) and round it to nearest ten. Rounding rules apply.
3. round dividend (makes basic fact) to nearest 10
4. write semi-word form example 370 is 37 tens
5. divide
6. cancel out matching tens to get down to basic fact)
7. check your answer for reasonableness
8. box your answer
