Which number is the dividend?
24 \({ \div }\) 3 = 8
- 24
- 3
- 8
Correct! The dividend is the first number in a division sentence.
Sorry, that is not correct. This is the divisor! The dividend tells you the total.
Sorry, that is not correct. This is the quotient! The dividend tells you the total.
Read the problem. Which number is the divisor?
There are 28 astronauts. There are 7 rockets. Each rocket can carry 4 astronauts.
- 4
- 28
- 7
Sorry, that is not right. This is the quotient, the number in each group. The divisor tells us the number of groups.
Sorry, that is not right. This is the dividend, the total number of astronauts. The divisor tells us the number of groups.
That is right! The divisor is the number of rockets, or equal groups.
Which division sentence matches the problem?
There are 30 astronauts going to Mars. There are 5 rockets. Each rocket has 6 astronauts on board.
- 30 \({ \div }\) 6 = 5
- 6 \({ \div }\) 5 = 30
- 5 \({ \div }\) 6 = 30
- 30 \({ \div }\) 5 = 6
Sorry, that is not correct. The quotient and divisor are not in the correct places!
Sorry, that is not correct. This is the correct order for multiplication, not division!
Sorry, that is not correct. This is the correct order for multiplication, not division!
Correct! 30 is the dividend, 5 is the divisor, and 6 is the quotient.
Read the problem below. Find the dividend and divisor. Then use your counters or the equal groups to find the quotient.
There are 36 astronauts on a mission to the Moon. There are 4 rockets. How many astronauts are on each rocket?
- 9 astronauts
- 4 astronauts
- 8 astronauts
- 36 astronauts
That is right! 36 \({ \div }\) 4 = 9.
Sorry, that is not right. This is the number of groups. Put 36 counters into 4 equal groups!
Sorry, that is not right. This is the quotient for 32 \({ \div }\) 4. Put 36 counters into 4 equal groups!
Sorry, that is not right. This is the total number of astronauts. Put 36 counters into 4 equal groups!
Which number is the divisor?
42 \({ \div }\) 6 = 7
- 42
- 6
- 7
Sorry, that is not correct. This is the dividend! The divisor tells the number of groups.
That is correct. The divisor is the second number in a division sentence.
Sorry, that is not correct. This is the quotient! The divisor tells the number of groups.
Read the problem. Which number is the quotient?
There are 45 astronauts. There are 5 rockets. Each rocket can carry 9 astronauts.
- 9
- 45
- 5
That is right! The quotient is the number of astronauts on each rocket.
Sorry, that is not right. This is the dividend, the total number of astronauts. The quotient tells the number on each rocket.
Sorry, that is not right. This is the divisor, the number of rockets and equal groups. You need to find the number on each rocket.
Which division sentence matches the problem?
There are 56 astronauts going to Mars. There are 7 rockets. Each rocket has 8 astronauts on board.
- 7 \({ \div }\) 56 = 8
- 56 \({ \div }\) 7 = 8
- 56 \({ \div }\) 8 = 7
- 7 \({ \div }\) 8 = 56
Sorry, that is not correct. The dividend and divisor are not in the correct places!
Correct! 56 is the dividend, 7 is the divisor, and 8 is the quotient.
Sorry, that is not correct. The quotient and divisor are not in the correct places!
Sorry, that is not correct. This is the correct order for multiplication!
Read the problem below. Find the dividend and divisor. Then use your counters or the equal groups to find the quotient.
There are 63 astronauts on a mission to the Moon. There are 7 rockets. How many astronauts are on each rocket?
- 6 astronauts
- 63 astronauts
- 9 astronauts
- 7 astronauts
Sorry, that is not right. This is the quotient for 54 \({ \div }\) 9. Put 63 counters into 7 equal groups!
Sorry, that is not right. This is the total number of astronauts. Put 63 counters into 7 equal groups!
That is right! 63 \({ \div }\) 7 = 9.
Sorry, that is not right. This is the number of groups. Put 63 counters into 7 equal groups!
Which division sentence matches the problem?
There are 72 astronauts going to Mars. There are 8 rockets. Each rocket has 9 astronauts on board.
- 72 \({ \div }\) 8 = 9
- 8 \({ \div }\) 9 = 72
- 72 \({ \div }\) 9 = 8
- 8 \({ \div }\) 72 = 9
Correct! 72 is the dividend, 8 is the divisor, and 9 is the quotient.
Sorry, that is not correct. This is the correct order for multiplication!
Sorry, that is not correct. The quotient and divisor are not in the correct places!
Sorry, that is not correct. The dividend and divisor are not in the correct places!
Read the problem below. Find the dividend and divisor. Then use your counters or the equal groups to find the quotient.
There are 80 astronauts on a mission to the Moon. There are 8 rockets. How many astronauts are on each rocket?
- 80 astronauts
- 9 astronauts
- 8 astronauts
- 10 astronauts
Sorry, that is not right. This is the total number of astronauts. Put 80 counters into 8 equal groups!
Sorry, that is not right. This is the quotient for 72 \({ \div }\) 8. Put 80 counters into 8 equal groups!
Sorry, that is not right. This is the number of groups. Put 80 counters into 8 equal groups!
That is right! 80 \({ \div }\) 8 = 10.
