✏️ Part 2: Short Answers & Models

5. Show your steps: Solve 9 ÷ 0.3. (Hint: multiply both numbers to make the divisor a whole number.)
6. Draw a number line or use a decimal grid to model 6 ÷ 0.2. How many 0.2 units fit in 6?
7. In one sentence, explain why we multiply both numbers by 10 when dividing by 0.2: _________
8. Word problem: A baker divides 12 pounds of flour into bags that hold 0.5 lb each. How many bags are needed? Show work.

🧭 Part 3: Supports, Differentiation & Extension

Quick supports for diverse learners:

- Use base-10 blocks or decimal grids to make "chunks" students can count.

- Provide a simple step checklist: 1) Make divisor whole, 2) Divide, 3) Check with multiplication sentence.

- Offer sentence starters for explanations: "I multiplied both numbers by ___ because ___."

Dyslexia-friendly suggestions:

- Use OpenDyslexic or clear sans-serif fonts, increased spacing, and color-coded steps (e.g., red for the divisor change).

- Read problems aloud or allow students to record a spoken explanation instead of writing.

Extension (optional): Try dividing by decimals larger than 1 (example: 8 ÷ 1.6). Convert to whole-number divisors and compare how answers change.
