Hi Parents!
Today in class we began our unit on long division. Our first method/strategy that we are using is called PARTIAL QUOTIENTS. I know that it may seem confusing at first - it's definitely not the way WE learned it back in the day - but it is one that we are required to teach the students and one that they are required to do. After all methods are taught, students will then have the opportunity to choose the one that works best for them.
I am sending home a sheet explaining how to solve the problems on tonight's homework using this strategy. The class did very well on this today when we worked on it during Math class. I THINK tonight's homework should go smoothly based on the amount of time spent on this in class as well as the directions and completed examples that students are being provided with.
Please email me with any issues or questions!
Thank you!
