options: Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for dividing within 100. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson when students will need to be able to divide fluently within 100.

Activity Synthesis
“How did knowing the first 3 facts help you find the value of
\(85 \div 5\)
?” (The first 3 products added up to 85, which was the number I was dividing in the last problem. So, I was able to use those to figure out
\(85 \div 5\)
.)
