Two Digit Division with Ease!

Two Digit Division with Ease!

Comments 3 comments

DivisionIn Math, we have been continuing to look at the division of two digit numbers. Now that we understand how we can use place value to show why we place the numbers where they go in our division equations, it is time to take that learning and transfer it to the more traditional way of doing division.

The students all came home with a strip of math questions. There are only three of them on the strip and the students are expected to complete all three questions for tomorrow.

I have also completed a video using my nifty new app to help review the concept if the students need a reminder or if they just want to listen to my beautiful voice!

math01In our math program, students have been learning about double digit divison. As you will probably expect, we are learning it a very different way from the way we were taught many years ago.

The Math-U-See program emphasizes place value as a way to illustrate to students why the numbers they are using written down in specific spots. Using place value, students begin to understand how numbers work together to give us the answers. It means there is less mystery about how numbers work together.

However, these concepts can be very foreign to the rest of us trying to help the students as it was not the way were taught. So, to help all of you at home, I have created a video demonstrating the concepts we are learning using an amazing new app that I just got for my ipad2.

Here it is:

If you need further help, please feel free to come and see me! The better we all understand, the better the students will understand.
