TEKS 4.4E: Represent Quotients
Represent Multi-Digit Division Using Models and Equations
About this lesson
Learning Target: I can represent division using arrays, area models, and equations.
Focuses On:
- Relating division equations to models to determine a quotient
- Moving from arrays to area models to equations to represent division problems
Builds On:
3.4H:
Determine the number of objects in each group when a set of objects is partitioned into equal shares or a set of objects is shared equally
Next Level:
4.4H:
Solve with fluency one- and two-step problems involving multiplication and division including interpreting remainders

This lesson is designed to build on foundational learning of division in 3rd grade and extend understanding using familiar models such as arrays, area models, and equations. It helps students build connections between the dividend, divisor, and quotient.
The three instructional blocks in this lesson are representing division using arrays, area models and equations.
In the first instructional block, students use arrays to write division equations. Students also will answer real-world problems using arrays.
The second instructional block has students using area models as a way to solve division problems. Students will write and solve equations based on area models.
The final instructional block has students solving real-world division problems by writing and solving equations.
Scaffolds and supports such as area models and arrays are intentionally built throughout the lesson to support conceptual learning.
