How we "ACT IT OUT"
Use the dividend to determine the number of objects needed. Group the objects using the divisor. The quotient is the total number of groups counted.

How we "BOUNCE IT OUT"
Locate the dividend on a number line. Bounce toward zero using the divisor, noting the number of bounces. The quotient equals the total number of bounces.

How we "COUNT IT OUT"
Using Subtraction
Begin by writing down the dividend. Use repeat subtraction by subtracting the divisor from the dividend until it can no lover be subtracted (usually equals zero). Count the number of times the divisor was subtracted. The quotient equals this counted number.

Using Addition
Use repeated addition by adding the divisor to itself. Stop adding when the dividend is reached. Count the number of times the divisor was added. The quotient equals this counted number.

How we "DRAW IT OUT"
Draw an array using the divisor as the number of rows needed. The dividend number is the stopping amount. The quotient equals the number of columns in the array
