This week we will start dividing decimals by whole numbers. Here are the specifics that students will be able to do:
- Estimate quotients of a decimal and a whole number
- Use understanding of place value to divide decimals by powers of 10
- Use models to divide decimals in equal sized groups (divide by a whole number)
Homework Videos:
- (Monday) Lesson 5.3 Estimate Quotients
- (Tuesday) Lesson 5.1 Division Patterns with Decimals
- (Wednesday) Lesson 5.2 Divide Decimals by Whole Numbers
- (Thursday) Lesson 5.4 Division of Decimals by Whole Numbers
