Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.
Students will need ample practice to truly master this standard to the level of fluency. Long division
problems using the standard algorithm (whether whole number or decimal numerals) could be practiced
daily, and over time, in warm ups and/or long term memory review.
Remind students of the steps for division which are:
This step is extremely important –

Students should be explicitly taught to approximate the divisor to an easier number to divide. In this
case, since most of us do not know our 24 times tables, we could approximate to 25 (or 20) to get an
idea of how many 25’s in 186 or 183.
