Examples, solutions, and videos to help Grade 5 students learn how to divide two- and three-digit dividends by two-digit divisors with single-digit quotients and make connections to a written method.
They also learn how to divide three- and four-digit dividends by two-digit divisors resulting in two- and three-digit quotients, reasoning about the decomposition of successive remainders in each place value.

Lesson 21 Application Problem
105 students were divided equally into 15 teams.
a. How many players were on each team?
b. If each team had 3 girls, how many boys were there altogether?
Note: Although yesterday’s lesson focused only on two-digit totals, the friendly divisor of 15 makes this problem manageable for students. Students who have difficulty answering Part (a) may need extra support during the Concept Development.

Zenin’s baby sister weighed 132 ounces at birth. How much did his sister weigh in pounds and ounces?
Note: Depending on the class, you may or may not have to remind students that there are 16 ounces in a pound. Either way, it can be used as an opportunity to interpret the remainder(i.e., what does the remainder of 4 represent in this problem?).
