Unit 4--Division

We started Unit 4 in math today. . .Division.  Based on the pretest scores we have a lot of review to do; I heard a lot of "I don't know how to do division" or "I don't remember how to do this!"  We will be using the partial quotients method from our Everyday Math series, as well as, the long division algorithm.  Both ways are taught and practiced and the student can choose whichever one works best for them.  If you would like to learn and/or review the partial quotients division algorithm go to:
