294 ÷ 14

Look at the division problem.  The divisor, 14, can be divided into the first two digits of the dividend, 29, since you can get groups of 14 out of 29.  Use the base 10 number to start dividing. 294 ÷ 14 divisor dividend

 Start a work space to multiply the divisor, 14, by multiples of ten until a product is close to 294 ◦ You get 14 x 100 = ÷ 14

 Draw a rectangle, and write the 140 from your work space inside the rectangle. 294 ÷

Start a workspace subtracting the number in the rectangle from the dividend, ÷ x 10 Subtracting workspace ______________ )

 You see that 14 x 10 = 140 is less than 154.  You’ll have to multiply 14 times 10 again. 294 ÷ 14

Multiply 14 times 10 to get 140. You are left with ÷ x 10 Subtracting workspace _______________ )

You must figure out how many times 14 goes into 14. The answer is 1 so we add that to our area model. 294 ÷ x 10 Subtracting workspace _______________ )

You find the quotient to the problem by adding the numbers on top. The answer is ÷ x 10 Subtracting workspace _______________ ) = 21
