Investigate Hands On Materials decimal models color pencils Angela has enough wood to make a picture frame with a perimeter of 2.4 meters. She wants the frame to be a square. What will be the length of each side of the frame? A. Shade decimal models to show 2.4. B. You need to share your model among _ equal groups. C. Since 2 wholes cannot be shared among 4 groups without regrouping, cut your model apart to show the tenths. There are _ tenths in 2.4. Share the tenths equally among the 4 groups. There are _ ones and _ tenths in each group. Write a decimal for the amount in each group. _ D. Use your model to complete the number sentence. 2.4 4 = _ So, the length of each side of the frame will be _ meter. Draw Conclusions 1. You can also use area models to represent division. Shade the area model below and circle groups to show 2.4 4. Math Talk Mathematical Processes What other manipulatives or models could you use to solve this problem? Module 4 161
Make Connections You can also use base-ten blocks to model division of a decimal by a whole number. Hands On Materials base-ten blocks Kyle has a roll of ribbon 3.21 yards long. He cuts the ribbon into 3 equal lengths. How long is each piece of ribbon? Divide. 3.21 3 STEP 1 Use base-ten blocks to show 3.21. Remember that a flat represents one, a long represents one tenth, and a small cube represents one hundredth. There are _ one(s), _ tenth(s), and _ hundredth(s). STEP 2 Share the ones. Share an equal number of ones among 3 groups. There is _ one(s) shared in each group and _ one(s) left over. STEP 3 Share the tenths. Two tenths cannot be shared among 3 groups without regrouping. Regroup the tenths by replacing them with hundredths. There are _ tenth(s) shared in each group and _ tenth(s) left over. There are now _ hundredth(s). STEP 4 Share the hundredths. Share the 21 hundredths equally among the 3 groups. There are _ hundredth(s) shared in each group and _ hundredth(s) left over. So, each piece of ribbon is yards long. 162 Math Talk Mathematical Processes Explain why your answer makes sense.
