Greetings Math Students,

The start of Unit 3....Division!!!

Math:  Unit 3 Division Start!

pages 67 and 68 tonight due for Tuesday

We're beginning with simple 2 digit, by 1-digit division, with a remainder.

Remember we're simply using our multiplication tables to try to find a product that will get us CLOSE to the DIVIDEND without going OVER!

Take care.

Bonus video!  Let's see if this works!

Greetings Math Students,

Here is the work for a Wednesday night:

 Math:  The kids did a great job on their 5 question 2-digit by 2-digit quiz today!!!!!  Even if they got a couple wrong, they quickly found their mistakes.

*We're completely on the traditional method now.

Today's lesson was actually an even easier concept of using numbers in the thousands place and multiplying them by one digit.  In this case it's simply an aspect of moving the multiplication along and carrying correctly.

Homework was 59 and 60 ALL of it for Thursday.

*Tried to publish a video here.  Didn't work.  Stay tuned for future efforts!

Take care.

Greetings Math Students,

Here is the work for a Tuesday night:

pages 57 and 58

*Ignore the directions...I want JUST PRACTICE WITH TRADITIONAL METHOD!!!
*You even can ignore the estimations, but they're great for double checking your work.
*Different groups have different amounts of work as well.  Please check with your son/daughter and don't be surprised if they tell you they get to skip a few problems...it's OK.

All groups...please save the stretch your thinking on page 58 for a class warm-up on Wednesday.

Mini Quiz tomorrow!!!  I really want to push the kids to use the Traditional Method, it will be the simplest form going forward.

Unit 2 Test NEXT Wednesday, November 18.

Go get'em!

Greetings Math Students,

Here is the homework for a Monday night:

*pages 55 and 56

Great practice for all groups.

2 digit by 2 digit multiplication.  We're really pushing the Traditional/Old School method that we all learned while growing up.

Please also note that even though the directions occasionally say to use some other method...I want the kids practicing with this traditional method from here on out!!!

Help, if you need to...but really we're just going to continue to practice over the next few days.  Really, no new twists or turns ahead, just review before NEXT week Wednesday's test (Nov. 18)

Here is a great link found by Mrs. Braymer for a little parent help too:

Greetings Math Students,

Here is the homework for a Monday night:

 Math:  All groups pages 51 and 52, but....

Mango and Papaya:  These groups are experimenting with a new technique with 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication called the Area Model Method.  Looks something like this:

big rectangle.png

Once we have found products for these 4 problems, we take them and simply add them together for the answer to our larger 25 x 42 problem.

Kiwis:  We simply started right into the traditional/"old School" method that all of us learned.

Take care.

Mr. K
