Division Equation:
8 ÷ 4 = 2
dividend ÷ divisor = quotient
Bundle: compose base ten blocks into sets of 10
and group them into the base ten block of the
next higher place value
Ex: Bundle 10 one-cubes and group them into 1
ten-rod
Unbundle: decompose base ten blocks into sets
of ten of the next smaller place value
Ex: Unbundle 1 ten-rod into 10 one-cubes
