You may use this as a "pre-assessment" for grade 6 long division (6.NS.2).  Use to plan long division instruction based on prior knowledge of students.  A video is included to review methods with students.

Question 1

In the video, you are shown a traditional method of long division and a partial quotients method of long division using the example 6,096 divided by 30. Which method do you prefer and why? (No right or wrong answer here!)

Question 2

Find the quotient using either method (traditional or partial quotients)... or both if you prefer. Show all your work. No calculator please.

Question 3

In the space provided, please write a real life situation (or story) that goes with the division problem: 45,691 divided by 28. Please make sure to explain the remainder (if there is one) in your situation (or story).

Question 4

Now that you know what 45,691 divided by 28 is.... What is your estimate of 45,694 divided by 28? Explain what you think the quotient is (estimation is ok) WITHOUT doing the detailed calculation. Explain your thinking.
