Today we continued to practice our long division skills. Lots of students are still having difficulty remembering and following the proper steps to solve a question. The steps are as follows:
1) Divide
2) Multiply
3) Subtract
4) Bring down
5) Repeat
Here is the math antics video we watched when we first started looking at long division: Long Division
Try working through these questions for extra practice tonight:
1) 5684 / 7
2) 31752/ 9
3) 333 / 3
4) 568 / 2
5) 9345 / 5
We will be having a division test tomorrow that will include some long division questions. Please make sure you practice tonight!
In social studies we learned about the ancient people of Peru called the Inca. The Inca are a group of Natives who came to Peru more than 12,000 years ago from North America. They became farmers, tamed wild animals and built their cities and roads from stone. One of the most famous Inca cities is a place called Machu Picchu. This means "old peak" or "old mountain" in the Inca language. Tomorrow we will be completing a road block based on what we learned.
We had a fire drill practice this afternoon. Students did a great job safely exiting the building.
Reminders:
- Division test tomorrow
- Fun lunch is on Thursday
