Dividing decimals is whole-number division with the decimal point handled carefully. That runs on solid division facts, dividing by 10 and 100, and reading decimal place value. Warm these up and decimal quotients land right.
These are words you'll need to already know to follow this lesson — not the new words the lesson teaches. Review each one, its meaning, and the example so the new lesson makes sense from the start.
Level 1 A quick split you know by heart, like a times fact in reverse.
Example: 42 ÷ 6 = 7 because 6 × 7 = 42.
Level 1 To make a number ten times smaller by removing a zero.
Example: 60 ÷ 10 = 6.
Level 1 What a digit is worth because of where it sits in a number.
Example: In 0.8, the 8 is in the tenths place, so it is worth 8 tenths.
Level 1 The first spot right after the dot, worth one part of ten.
Example: In 0.3, the 3 means 3 tenths.
