5.NBT.B.6 — Division With Two-Digit Divisors

The jump from one-digit to two-digit divisors is the largest single step in fifth grade arithmetic. With a one-digit divisor a student can recall the multiple; with 17 or 23 they have to estimate, test and adjust. That is a genuinely new habit, and it is why this standard takes longer to secure than its wording suggests.

The standard, word for word

Quoted verbatim from the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. Nothing here is paraphrased.

5.NBT.B.6Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

In plain English: Find whole-number quotients with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using place value, properties of operations, and the link to multiplication.
