Aligned Standard

M.EE.7.NS.2.b: Solve division problems with divisors up to fiveand also with a divisor of 10 without remainders.

Grade Level Standard

This is aligned with the following California State Standards:

  • 7.NS.2.b - Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers. Understand that integers can be divided, provided that the divisor is not zero, and every quotient of integers (with non-zero divisor) is a rational number. If p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q). Interpret quotients of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.

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

Communicate understanding that repeated subtraction is a subtraction of equal groups from a number (e.g., 15 - 5 - 5 - 5). Represent repeated subtraction using equations (e.g., 15 - 5 - 5 - 5 = 0). Solve repeated subtraction problems by identifying the number of times a number is subtracted repeatedly from another number to reach zero.

Proximal Precursor

Show understanding of division by arranging the total number of objects into two or more equal groups and communicate that the total number of objects (i.e., dividend) divided by the number of groups (i.e., divisor) is equal to the number of objects in each group (i.e., quotient).

Target

Divide numbers within 100 by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 and determine the quotient, using manipulatives.

Successor

Recognize the inverse relationship between multiplication and division, and communicate understanding that the number of groups multiplied by the number of objects in each group equals the total number of objects and that the total number of objects divided by the number of groups equals the number of objects in each group.
