DIVIDE:
1.) 35. 6 ÷ 10 =
3.56
2.) 35.6 ÷ 100 =
.356
3.) 35.6 ÷ 1000 =
.0356

What are the steps in
dividing decimals/mixed
decimals up to 2 decimal
places?.
Are you a keen
observer?
Do you observe little
details
from the big picture?
PRESENTATION:
Let the pupils observe
the following number
sentences.
35.6 ÷ 1 = 35.6
35.6 ÷ 0.1 = 356
35.6 ÷ 0.01 = 3560
What have you observed in
the number pattern?
What can you derive out of
it?
PERFORMING THE
ACTIVITIES:
Divide the class into 5 groups
and give them the following
problems on a strip of paper.
Let them assign a reporter for
each group. Tell if the
following statements is true
or false. Defend your answer.
_____
 ____The quotient of 16.8 ÷ .01 is
1680.
____If you divide 98.74 by .001 you
get the quotient of 9874.
_____ The quotient you get in
dividing 0.358 by 0.1 is 35.8.
 _____ 148 is the quotient when you
divide 1.48 ÷ 0.01. 
 _____The result of dividing 6.06 by
0.1 is 60.6.
 PROCESSING THE
ACTIVITIES:
How did you find the activity? What were you
able to find out?
Discuss with the pupils the steps in dividing
decimals up to 4 decimal places by 0.1, 0.01,
and 0.001.
Say: When dividing by 0.1, 0.01, 0.001…,
move the decimal point to the right as
many times as the number of decimal places
of the number in the dividend.
REINFORCING THS CONCEPT
& SKILLS:
Give the quotient.
a) 0.4578÷0.1=N
b) 6.8531÷0.01=N
c) 0.6758÷ 0.01=N
d) 23.5÷0.001=N
e) 99.7895÷0.001= N
 SUMMARIZING THE
LESSON
How do we divide decimals up to 4
decimal places by 0.1, 0.01, and
0.001?
When dividing by 0.1, 0.01, 0.001…,
move the decimal point to the right as
many times as the number of decimal
places of the number in the dividend.
Applying to New and Other
Situation:
Find the quotient.
1) 3.72 ÷ 0.1 =
2.) 4.84 ÷ 0.001 =
3.) 8.82 ÷ 0.01 =
4.) 1.21 ÷ 0.001 =
5.) 17.52 ÷ 0.1 =
 Complete the table. Divide each factor by 0.1,
0.01 and 0.001
0.1 0.01 0.001
1. 0.18
2. 0.4793
3. 143.12

4. 248.15
5. 445.72
ASSESSME
NT:
Find the quotient of the following
decimals and solve for N.
1.) 42.84 ÷ 0.01 = N
2.) 40.32 ÷ 0.001 =N
3.) 66.75 ÷ 0.01 =N
4). 649.8 ÷ 0.1 = N
5.) 968.25 ÷ 0.001 =N
E
Enrichment
Solve for N.
1)425.67÷0.1=N
2) 75.80÷0.001=
3) 396.3÷0.001=N
4) 5.80÷0.1=
5) 15.45÷0.01=N
