Description
What It Is:
This worksheet utilizes base-ten blocks to illustrate division. It shows two hundreds blocks (blue squares) and six yellow rods, representing 2.6. The problem being shown is 2.6 divided by 2.
Grade Level Suitability:
Grades 3-5. It's suitable for these grades because it introduces or reinforces the concept of dividing decimals using visual aids that connect to place value understanding.
Why Use It:
