Last week during math, we finished Chapter 8: Division. During this unit the students used related multiplication facts to divide. They also practiced dividing 2-digit numbers with and without remainders. This was the students first exposure to long division and something that we will continue to practice throughout the year.
 |
| This is the type of problem the children practiced solving. |
 |
| For this activity, the class worked with a partner to solve the problem using as many different strategies as they could. One strategy was to use manipulatives and create equal groups. |
 |
| Another strategy was to draw a picture. |
 |
| Some groups used long division to solve the problem. |
 |
| Repeated subtraction was one other strategy shared by a classmate. |
We discussed that there are often many ways to solve a math problem.
Many students shared that knowing multiplication facts makes division easier, so please continue to encourage fact practice at home.
