standard_description: Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for dividing within 100 and to help students develop fluency.
When students use known multiplication and division facts to divide larger numbers, they look for and make use of structure (MP7).

Activity Synthesis
“How did you use division facts that you already know to find some of the other quotients?” (I knew that
\(60\div3\)
would be double the answer of
\(30\div3\)
. Once I knew
\(60\div3\)
, I was able to find
\(63\div3\)
by adding another group of 3 and
\(54\div3\)
by taking groups of 3 away.)
