Dividing by 1-Digit Divisors
Dear Family,
In math class, your child will learn how to divide with one-digit divisors.
Learning this skill will require his or her understanding in the areas of
estimating quotients, remainders, connecting models and symbols, dividing
with one-digit divisors, and using zeros in quotients. You can expect to see
work that provides practice in dividing whole numbers with one-digit divisors
and checking the answer with multiplication. Your child should continue to
practice basic facts in multiplication and division.
Here is an activity that you can do with your child to help him or her learn
about dividing by 1-digit divisors.
Variations on a Theme
Materials: Pencil, index cards
Step 1: Write a symbol, a symbol, and an symbol on three
index cards.
Step 2: Write down a one-digit number on an index card. Write a
two-, three-, or four-digit number on another index card. Write the
product on a third card.
Step 3: Ask your child to arrange the cards to create a
multiplication sentence.
Step 4: Then challenge your child to use the cards to make a
division sentence.
Step 5: Repeat the activity with different sets of numbers.
