Parents,
Happy Monday. The students have a math assignment to complete tonight. They have to divide 381 by 3. But they are not allowed to do this division with the basic algorithm that we all learned. They need to draw 3 squares to represent hundreds, 8 thin rectangles to represent tens, and 1 little square to represent ones. Then they will show how they will split the hundreds up with three people which will be easy since there is already 3 hundreds. As for the tens, they can spit up 60 of the eighty to three people leaving them with 20 left. They must trade in the 2 tens to 20 ones which will give them a total of 21 ones. Now they can split up these ones among the three people. I hope this clears up confusion if your child had difficulty with this problem. Have a great week.
Reminder - Book Fair is this week.
