Fourth graders took their unit test on multiplication of whole numbers and decimals just before Winter Break. This week, we began our new unit on division. We began with vocabulary terms, and we worked on developing the inverse relationship of multiplication and division. We also began using the traditional algorithm for long division. We will practiced this skill extensively in class before students are expected to use it on their own. However, practicing multiplication facts for a few minutes every day will make long division MUCH easier since their recall of facts will speed them along in the process.
