Lesson Alignment
How this Shanghai Maths lesson connects to learning goals, Common Core, and Eureka Math.
Learning Objectives
Students will be able to:
- 01Divide 2- and 3-digit by 2-digit using column method. (Question 1)
- 02Interpret remainders in context. (Question 2)
- 03Compare speeds m/s to rank race results. (Question 3)
Common Core Standards
| Code | Standard (focus for this lesson) |
|---|---|
| 4.NBT.B.6 | Divide up to four digits by one digit; extend. |
| 3.OA.A.3 | Interpret quotients. |
Eureka Math Correspondence
| Shanghai Maths | Focus | Eureka Math |
|---|---|---|
| Column ÷ | Two-digit divisor | G4 M3 |
| Speed rank | m/s compare | G3 M7 |
Core Concepts
Introduce two-digit ÷ two-digit column; animal-race speed ranking.
Two-Digit Divisor
Estimate quotient digit; multiply divisor × trial quotient; adjust if too large.
Remainders
Remainder must be less than divisor; interpret in word problems.
Speed Ranking
Compare metres/second — larger speed wins the race.

Key Answers
Quick reference for this lesson’s exercise answers.
1. Mental
- $6\div2=3$,\; $60\div2=30$,\; $60\div20=3$; similarly $8/80/40$,\; $9/90/30$,\; $21/210/70$
2. Think carefully
- $99\div23=4\cdots7$
- $517\div63=8\cdots13$
3. Column method
- $174\div21=8\cdots6$;\; $195\div53=3\cdots36$;\; $132\div22=6$
- $347\div43=8\cdots3$;\; $608\div86=7\cdots6$
4. Application
- 1st goat, 2nd cat, 3rd elephant (same distance $\Rightarrow$ compare speeds)
- Daily averages $9$,\; $12$,\; $14$
5. Enhancement — hire vehicles
- $4$ coaches, $1920$ yuan
- $11$ minibuses, $2200$ yuan
- Prefer coaches (cheaper); mix $3$ coaches $+2$ minibuses $=1840$ yuan also possible
