Math: Mrs. Bennett

We are beginning our next math chapter focused on understanding division with 1-digit divisors. Students will be learning and practicing a strategy called partial quotients, which helps them break (or “chunk”) large division problems into smaller, more manageable parts.

Using partial quotients allows students to rely on place value and what they already know about multiplication. Instead of trying to divide a large number all at once, students subtract groups they know (for example, multiples of 10 or 100) and keep track of how much they’ve divided so far. This strategy builds strong number sense, encourages flexible thinking, and helps students understand why division works—not just how to get an answer.We will also begin working on estimating quotients. Estimation helps students determine whether their answers are reasonable and makes them more confident problem-solvers, especially when working with larger numbers.

We will continue our angles and measurement project, but it will now be worked on once a week. With MAP testing and recent snow days, this adjustment allows us to keep moving forward with new content while still giving students time to thoughtfully engage with the project.
