Grade 4 - Division - Repeated Subtraction with Remainder

In this video, we explore the repeated subtraction strategy for solving division problems. This method reinforces the concept that division is repeated subtraction, much like multiplication is repeated addition. Although not the most efficient strategy for larger numbers, repeated subtraction serves as a useful fallback or a way to check work.

The video demonstrates how to subtract the divisor from the dividend repeatedly until no more subtractions are possible, then counting the number of subtractions to find the quotient. The remainder is identified and added back in to ensure the final answer is correct, making this strategy a solid tool for students as they build their division skills.
