Math Homework

Tonight everyone has math homework. Many students are at different places with the 3 worksheets. The three worksheets are entitled: "Number Sense and Numeration: Division by 10 and 100", "Using Grids to Find Perimeter and Area", and "Calculating the Area of a Rectangle". These should be find in each student's Math duotang since they were asked to put them in there before they changed classes today.

Long and Short Division

Today we looked at the steps for both long and short division and then practiced several questions as a class. For homework, students are asked to complete #1 & 2 of the worksheet as well as check out the game listed at the top of the page (if they have time). Students can do either long division or short division (whichever they rather) but they need to show their work. I understand that this may take longer for some students to complete and that schedules are busy but it would be greatly appreciated if each student could please spend up to 30 min of quality work completing this task. Below, you will find 2 videos that we watched today. I replayed the videos while students were working as well so that they could follow along if they wished.

Long Division Video:

Short and Long Division: *Please note that for this video, we only watched the first 1 minute 40 seconds because the Grade 5 expectation is to be able to divide a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number.
