[L3] Mining for Answers: Can You Break It Down?
Practice
Lesson 3 to practice dividing upto 4-digit numbers by 1-digit divisors with remainders by managing thousands of kilotons of crushed stone and sand & gravel across the U.S. states. CC Standard: 4.NBT.B.6 - Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. 4.OA.A.3 - Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.

Exploring Stone, Sand, and Gravel Mines Every year, states across the U.S. dig deep to pull out thousands of kilotons of crushed stone and sand & gravel from the earth. But moving and managing all that material isn’t easy! It takes smart planning, clever division, and lots of problem-solving. In this activity, you’re the operations expert. You’ll help organize shipments, assign work across mining teams, and make sense of the leftovers. Click Next to proceed.
