Section A: Lesson 3-1 through 3-4 Review
Do You Know How?
Do You Understand?     
The Meaning of Division (3-1)
Draw picture to show each situation.
Then find the quotient.
1. Eighteen people are waiting to enter
a store, and only 6 people are
allowed to enter at a time. How
many groups will need to enter?
2. In an animal shelter, there are 4
times as many cats as dogs. If there
are 36 cats, how many dogs are in
the shelter?
Question A Show the picture you drew for
each problem. How does it show
the quotient?
Question B Is the division situation in each
problem best described as division as
sharing, division as repeated
subtraction,
or division as a missing
factor?


Division Patterns (3-2)
Find each quotient mentally.
3. 800 ÷ 2 4. 3,200 ÷ 4
5. 3,600 ÷ 6 6. 40,000 ÷ 5
Question C Tell how you can find each quotient
using mental math.
Question D How can you use 24 ÷ 6 = 4 to find
2,400 ÷ 6?
Estimating Quotients (3-3)
Estimate each quotient.
7. 368 ÷ 9 8. 1,906 ÷ 4
9. $50.85 ÷ 7 10. 10,311 ÷ 5
Question E Explain how you found each
estimate.
Question F Tell if each estimate is an
overestimate or an underestimate.
Explain how you know.
 Problem-Solving Strategy: Look for a Pattern (3-4)
Look for a pattern. Write the missing
numbers or draw the missing figures.
11. 15, 26, 37, 48, ___, ___
12. Write the missing numbers or draw the missing figures ___, ___
Question G Describe the pattern in Exercise 11.
Question H Describe the pattern in Exercise 12.
