Topic E begins concretely with place value disks as an introduction to division with multi-digit whole numbers (5.NBT.6).
In the same lesson, 420 ÷ 60 is interpreted as 420 ÷ 10 ÷ 6. Next, students round dividends and two-digit divisors to nearby multiples of 10 in order to estimate single-digit quotients (e.g., 431 ÷ 58 ≈ 420 ÷ 60 = 7) and then multi-digit quotients. This work is done horizontally, outside the context of the written vertical method.
