Math:
We are reviewing division techniques and concepts and applying these ideas to decimal division.
Students began the week learning about how they can use partial products and area models to show visual solutions to division problems.
Today they learned to apply these concepts to decimals.
Today they reviewed the sevens method using the same decimal division problem as above.
And then we reviewed long division. The only difference between whole number long division and this problem is that you have to move the decimal up to hold the place value.

For problems with decimal divisors the first step is to make the divisor a whole number. Watch this Khan Academy video to better understand Dividing Decimals using long division.
