Division: understanding "goes into" long division using Cuisenaire rods
5What does “goes into” mean? When the teacher asks, “6 goes into 36 how many times?” do you find it difficult to understand exactly what is being asked? Well, then this is the video for you! In this video, we look at the “goes into” symbol – which looks like this a bit: )----- [but with the line on top - which I can't type here!] and how to work with it in long division and later short division. It’s all about how many times on number fits into another number and what might be left over. This can be a challenging idea! This video and the next one will hopefully help you finally get it enough so that you can begin to work through division questions.
Made for Glenwood Public School’s Google Classroom remote learning, the video may refer to specific content such as activities or content but works just as well by itself as a stand-alone tutorial for revision, extra explanations or independent learning.
