Put this number in a place value chart using disks. (We are dividing by 3, so I will label 3 groups on my place value chart)

Put this number in a place value chart using disks. (We are dividing by 3, so I will label 3 groups on my place value chart)

Let’s begin with our largest units. We will share 6 ones equally with 3 groups. How many ones are in each group?

How many total ones did we share or divide? [Subtract]

Then let's look at our tenths. 7 tenths divided by 3. How many tenths can we share with each group?

How many tenths did we share, or divide, in all?

We only shared 6 tenths, so we will only subtract 6 of the 7 tenths.

Since we shared 6 tenths in all, how many tenths are left to share?

Can we share 1 tenth with 3 groups?

What can we do to keep sharing?

We can change 1 tenth for 10 hundredths

How many hundredths do we have now? 

Can we share 12 hundredths with 3 groups? If so, how many hundredths can we share with each group?

Each group received 4 hundredths. How many hundredths did we share in all? [Subtract]

How many hundredths are left?

Look at the 3 groups you made. How many are in each group?

Do we have any other units to share? 

Use a place value chart, how can you share the ones?
