Aligned Standard

M.EE.6.NS.2: Apply the concept of fair share and equal shares to divide.

Grade Level Standard

This is aligned with the following California State Standards:

  • 6.NS.2 - Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.

Linkage Level Descriptions

Initial Precursor

Communicate understanding of separateness by recognizing objects that are not joined together. Communicate understanding of set by recognizing a group of objects sharing an attribute. Communicate understanding of a subset by recognizing a subset as a set or group of objects within a larger set that share an attribute.

Distal Precursor

Divide a set containing 10 or fewer objects into equal subsets (e.g., divide a set consisting of 10 counters into two subsets with 5 counters each).

Proximal Precursor

Communicate understanding that repeated subtraction is subtracting equal groups from a number (e.g., 15 - 5 - 5 - 5). Represent repeated subtraction using equations (e.g., 15 - 5 - 5 - 5 = 0), and model repeated subtraction using concrete manipulatives.

Target

Demonstrate understanding of division by splitting a set into an equal number of subsets and communicating the quotient as the number of equal subsets (e.g., a set consisting of 15 objects has three subsets, each containing 5 objects).

Successor

Divide a number within 12 by a divisor from 1 to 5 to determine the quotient, using manipulatives as needed.
