Division, Division and More Division

This past week we have been reviewing some math skills from 4th grade that will help with 5th grade work. We reviewed rounding with decimals, greater than/less than with decimals and multiplication with multiple factors. We are also working on division with 1-digit divisors (see video below from Yourteacher.com). Next week we will step it up to division with 2-digit divisors. This is a VERY difficult skill especially if your child does not know fluently the multiplication facts up to 12. Please practice with your child. This tends to be a skill that many struggle with and any extra help is greatly appreciated.
