5.3(G) solve for quotients of decimals to the hundredths, up to four-digit dividends and two-digit whole number divisors, using strategies and algorithms, including the standard algorithm.

Decimal point

A dot (.) separating the whole number from the fraction in decimal notation. The symbol used to separate the whole number part from the fractional part of a number.

Dividend

A number that is divided by another number.

Decimal number

A numeral that contains a decimal point. It is separated by a decimal point and shows the whole-number part on the left and the fraction part on the right.

Whole number

Natural numbers ( counting numbers) and zero; 0, 1, 2, 3...

Tenth

One of the equal parts when a whole is divided into 10 equal parts.

Hundredth

One of the equal parts when a whole is divided into 100 equal parts.

Algorithm

Procedure for solving a problem by implementing a set of rules over and over again until the solution is found. A step-by-step procedure that leads to a definite solution.

Quotient

The answer to a division problem.

Divisor

The number by which another number is divided.

Decompose

To express in terms of a number of independent simpler components

Distributive property

a(b + c) = ab + ac. For any a, b, and c, a(b + c) = ab + ac . For example, 10( 7 + 2) = 10 · 7 + 10 · 2.
