Grade 3 - Division - Place Value Discs

In this video, we'll explore the place value disk strategy for division, which helps students visualize the process of dividing numbers into equal groups. This method is particularly useful for children who benefit from a tangible, visual approach to understanding division. We'll demonstrate how to break down a number into its place value components—hundreds, tens, and ones—and then divide each part using place value disks.

Even when remainders are involved, this strategy can clarify the division process, helping students see how numbers are split into equal groups. While it may not be the most efficient method, it's an excellent tool for building a deeper understanding of division.
