Math: Division

We have moved from multiplication to division!  We are taking it slow to show the direct relationship between the two operations in order to improve confidence and understanding. 

We will be learning three ways to solve division problems -

THE AREA MODEL:



PARTIAL QUOTIENTS:


and the ALGORITHM. 



Each successive method shows less and less of the breakdown behind division and gets to the fast process (the algorithm) that most masters of division are familiar with.  Once all methods are taught and practiced, students will be encouraged to use whatever method they feel most successful with.  We will be investigating division over the next month.
