Two Digit Long Division
March 1, 2010 | Posted in: Class Updates
Today, we worked on two digit long division in which kids divided larger numbers by two digit divisors. (For example, 12 into 387.) This was a challenging application of long division, but I was impressed by how well the kids did with the advanced content. Because the CMTs start tomorrow, I am not going to give an extra homework assignment to practice this skill, but I wanted to provide you with a resource to help your child if he or she seems to need it. If you would like to review the process we used, this website summarizes the steps we follow. Remember, we also use the phrase “Does McDonald’s sell cheese burgers?” to remember the steps involved: Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Check, Bring down, and Ask yourself (?). Hope this helps!
