This week,we continued our unit on division. Students have worked with basic division facts (as related to the multiplication facts within the fact families),as well as,finding the estimated quotients (answers to division problems) by using compatible numbers. We have also practiced long division using 1-digit divisors. Students have done very well with this as shown by our quiz taken last Friday.
Next week,we will continue our look at division as we practice and refine our long division skills. We will move toward dividing greater numbers. Practicing these skills is encouraged. We will also work on interpreting the remainder. This is a sometimes difficult task for fifth graders as we determine what to do with that pesky remainder (round up to the next whole number,drop the remainder,or use the reaminder as a fractional part).

Several students are now low on supplies. Now may be a good time to check in with your child and see if they are in need of additional supplies (pencils,paper,ruler,colored pencils,glue, etc.).
Have a GREAT weekend!
