Week of September 18

Last week we began working on division using standard algorithm.  Here is a tutorial on division.

Students learned an acronym Does McDonalds Sell Cheese Burgers? 

 Divide
Multiply
Subtract
Check
Bring down

 Students will need to continue to practice this skill.  Our year requires students to divide a 4 digit number by a 2 digit number.  Feel free to make up problems for students to try.  

 *They do not have to do anything with a remainder yet.
