Friday September 19th

Today's lesson in math built upon yesterdays about division with decimals. 

This assignment has the students dividing with number disks on the place value chart along with doing long division/standard algorithm. 

I strongly encourage the students to do the division in both ways and check their work. I also told them that it is okay to triple check their work with a calculator. This should only be done after both options have been done. 

I have added some arrows or notes on the worksheet to help better understand the process.

*When dividing on the place value chart ALWAYS start with the largest place value. 

*If you have extra number disks that cannot be placed in the groups evenly, they move over to the next place value on the chart. 

        * For instance, on number 1. a. there are 5 disks in the ones place. They cannot be distributed evenly, so we have 2 left over. 2 ones is the same as 20 tenths. So, we move the extra 2 to the tenths spot by drawing 20 number disks. 

Have a great weekend!
