This is what our district has to say about division:
The student is
expected to represent the quotient of up to a four-digit number divided by a
one-digit number, with or without remainders, using strategies including
arrays, area models, equations, and the standard algorithm.
Vocabulary
quotient, dividend, divisor, remainders, compatible numbers, convert
Quotient is the answer to a division problem.
Dividend is the number being divided.
Divisor is the number doing the dividing.
Remainder is anything left over that doesn't divide evenly.
For example
73 divided by 9 = 8 with a remainder of 1
73 is my dividend, 9 is my divisor, 8 is my quotient, 1 is my remainder
To check this answer I would multiply my divisor (9) times my quotient (8) and then add my remainder (1) to see if I end up with my dividend (73)
9x8 = 72
72 +1 =73

I started off with the partial quotients method.
Here's a video that explains partial quotients.
