Grade 6 • Guided Practice • Work with your teacher or a partner. Discuss the model or strategy, then complete each problem.

Sample questions

1. 1444 pencils are packed into boxes holding 13 each. How many full boxes and loose pencils are there? Show the division algorithm.
2. For 1654 ÷ 14, a student reports quotient 117 and remainder 16. The multiplication check works. Explain why this is not a valid final remainder and correct it.
3. 4876 pencils are packed into boxes holding 25 each. How many full boxes and loose pencils are there? Show the division algorithm.
4. For 5254 ÷ 26, a student reports quotient 201 and remainder 28. The multiplication check works. Explain why this is not a valid final remainder and correct it.
5. Divide 2908 by 19. Estimate first using a nearby compatible number. Explain how the estimate checks the size of the quotient.
6. Divide 4165 by 23. Estimate first using a nearby compatible number. Explain how the estimate checks the size of the quotient.
