The dividend is the amount that you want to divide.

A partial quotient is seen when the dividend is partitioned.

Partition means splitting an object or value down into smaller parts.

A quotient is the result after division has taken place. It is the whole number part.

Divide a 3-digit by a 1-digit number using partitioning and representations (no remainders)

Maths

In this unit pupils will divide a 2-digit and 3-digit number by a single-digit number using partitioning and representations with exchanging and remainders. They will divide a 2-digit number by a single-digit number using short division. In the future unit pupils will  use their knowledge of multiplication and division to solve comparison and change problems.

In the prior unit pupils interpreted a division story with a remainder and represented it with an equation. They explained how the remainder related to the divisor. In this unit pupils will divide a 2-digit and a 3-digit number by a single-digit number using partitioning and representations and divide a 2-digit number by a single-digit number by using short division.
