4th grade math · Unit 3: Division

The zero that holds a place

What this lesson shows

Fixes a mistake

An empty place still gets a 0 in the answer.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: 6,030 ÷ 3. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

Helping at home

Before each drawer, ask “Is there enough to share?” An empty drawer still gets a 0 in the answer. Check at the end by multiplying back.

If your kid gets stuck

Before you start, say where each 0 will go.
