Question

10. Using Base 10 blocks, show & explain how to divide 35 (3 longs and 5 units) by 5. (DRAW

THE BLOCKS AND EXPLAIN YOUR WORK IN RELATION TO THE BLOCKS. DO NOT USE ALGEBRA.)

Answer 1

Each long piece is composed of 10 unit blocks (smallest squares).

The three long pieces means that they make up 3*10 = 30 units so far. Add on the 5 extra units and we have 30+5 = 35 units total

If we have 35 squares, then we can group them up into groups of 5. Doing so will leave you with 7 groups.
