We have started our division unit. This was our second day of dividing with remainders and then checking our answers. Your child will be learning two different methods for division. I will teach them a method using an area model - a rectangle broken up into sections - and the digit-by-digit method - which is the traditional method most of us use. When using the digit-by-digit method we are using The Long Family to help us learn the steps. I have sent home The Long Family steps this evening so that you can use the same vocabulary that your child hears at school. If your child did not bring this home, there is a copy on my math web page. Also, it is very important that when I am teaching the area model that you don't teach your child the digit-by-digit method. I know that parents are trying to be helpful but it is important for students to be proficient with each method. I will send home our workbook page for the area model method so that you will have examples to follow.
Book Orders are due tomorrow, if you would like to purchase anything.
