Happy Tuesday!

Today, we are beginning our journey into division.

In one part, we are multiplying by 10's, 100's, and 1000's which we have done earlier this year. Your student can plug the original number into the place value chart and shift it accordingly.

If you look at 1a. you can see that I wrote 3 divided by 1. This is something we easily know. the answer is 3. Then we take a look at the original numbers. We can see that we can cross out 1 zero on each side and we still have one left over, which leaves us with 30.

When you look at number 2, we can do something very similar, except we are using more than 10's, 100's and 1000's. For instance if you look at 2b, you can see that 18 divided by 2 is 9. Then you see that there are 2 zeros in both 200 and 18000. When you cross out 2 on each side, you still have one left. so 18,000 divided by 200 is 90.

There is a spelling test tomorrow!

Thanks,
