I can’t determine the division expression without seeing the model; please provide the model or describe its parts.
Explanation
Division models illustrate distributing a total into equal parts. To identify the expression, you need to know the total amount (the dividend) and how many equal parts (the divisor) the model is dividing into. Different visual representations—area/array models, number lines, or long-division diagrams—all convey the same idea of dividend ÷ divisor = quotient, though the numbers shown may appear in different places.
Key Points
- 1, You must identify the total (dividend) and the size of each group (divisor) from the model.
- 2, Different models (area/array, number line, or long division) represent the same division expression as dividend ÷ divisor = quotient.
- 3, If the model shows leftovers or decimals, include a remainder or decimal quotient accordingly.
