Question about the blocks with division

I can see how the blocks help clarify how things work for multiplication… but in division, it seems like it kinda presupposes that you already know the divisors for the number. With small numbers that works but as soon as you get to slightly larger ones it seems like you run into problems. For example, your example is 8 and you use a 2x4 block… but say the number was 16 and you chose to use a 4x4 block and then needed to divide by 8… I don’t see how that helps at that point.

Thank you for sharing your feedback @Yumadome . We will definitely look at cleaning up this explanation in future revisions of the course.

You notified the wrong person by the way haha

Please accept my apologies @Kaiya.
I was answering some of your other questions at the time so must have misread who the original poster was!
Thank you for letting me know.
