We will combine these topics. Both are over division. We will learn a variety of strategies to help students solve long division. Please encourage students to show you the strategy used in class! Each student will find the best strategy for them to use in order to solve the problems. It can get frustrating as they are learning each strategy, yet we will constantly tell them to try it out and then use the strategy that works for them! Please continue to help them master the basic division facts by practicing with flash cards, iPad games, computer games, or other fun ways to reinforce the skill.
