Team Mindcrafters Daily Update - 12-13-16

Long Division - In Math, we began learning how to do the partial quotient method for long division today.  This method will probably be unfamiliar to you as this is isn't likely the way that you learned how to do it when you were in school.  Your child's homework tonight is going to review what we learned in school today in the video and then give them 6 problems to try to solve.  We will be learning the standard algorithm for long division as well after we have built some conceptual understanding using this method. I was hoping to have 2 days of explanation before students tried this as homework, so if your child is having any difficulty completing these problems after watching the video, please have them do their best effort and put a short note on the homework so that I am aware.
