Parents,
The homework tonight continues with division on pg. 225. They had to take what they learned yesterday one step further. They have to find a compatible number to divide and then do the calculations. For example: 568/9 They were told to ignore the 8 for a second and focus only on the 56. Then count by multiples of 9 until you get a multiple that is close to 56. When they count their multiples of 9, they know that 9 X 6 is 54 which is relatively close to 56. They take the 54 and add a zero to it to get 540. They must add only one zero since there are three numbers in 568. Now they will do the algorithm the way they did it for homework last night. 54/9 is 6. There is a zero in 540 so add one zero to the 6 to get 60.
You may also look over the lesson before pg. 225 or watch the video on Think Central for further review of the lesson.
Have a good night.
