Students will explore the relationship between partitive and quotative division.
Intentionality…
In this task, students will begin making generalizations about the relationship between quotative and partitive division. Using the same box of 2 400 donuts, students will be tasked with a partitive division problem today.
Some of the big ideas that will emerge in today’s task include:
- Numbers can be composed and decomposed.
- Multiplication and division are related.
- Quotative division can be accessed through skip counting, repeated addition, multiplication and/or repeated subtraction.
- Partitive division can be assessed through fair sharing (or equal distribution), partitioning and multiplying by a fraction.
Math Talk
Revisit the context from Day 2, the box of 2 400 donuts partitioned into layers of 800 donuts. Use the following information to practice similar quotative division problems. Students are encouraged to use models as tools and to represent their thinking. The question for each of the following scenarios is, how many layers of donuts are in the box?
400 donuts per layer, 1 200 donuts altogether
700 donuts per layers, 2 800 donuts altogether
450 donuts per layer, 2 250 donuts altogether
325 donuts per layer, 1 300 donuts altogether

Crafting A Productive Struggle: Prompt
If your school bought this box of doughnuts to split between 8 classes, how many would each class get?
Students are encouraged to work through this problem with partners or in small groups. Students should use models to defend their thinking and convince their community that their answer is correct.
