Fourth Grade Math

We completed our unit on long division. The girls embraced the challenge of annexing zeros. Be sure to ask your daughter how to annex zeros when a division problem has a remainder! The girls also focused on interpreting remainders in word problems. They learned that they had to read and understand exactly what was being asked. From here they had to decide whether or not to use the exact quotient as the answer;  round up to the next whole number;  use the remainder as their answer; or round down to the nearest whole number. Lots of thinking goes into answering these word problems.
