Interactive practice questions

Let's use an area model to find the answer to $6054\div6$6054÷​6.

a

We set up the area model using a rectangle like this.

$6$6
Total area: $6054$6054

Now if we don't know straight away what $6054\div6$6054÷​6 is, we start with something we do know, like groups of $1000$1000.

Fill in the area used so far if we take out $1000$1000 groups of $6$6.

$1000$1000
$6$6 $\editable{}$
Total area: $6054$6054
b

How much area is remaining?

$1000$1000
$6$6 $6000$6000 $\editable{}$
Total area: $6054$6054
c

What is the width of the second rectangle?

  $1000$1000 $\editable{}$
$6$6 $6000$6000 $54$54
  Total area: $6054$6054
d
