^{Division Homework}

^{This week I am teaching the students a few different ways to come up with the quotient in division.  Students can elect which way they would like to solve the problems.  One of the key concepts this year with our new math program is to give the students an opportunity to learn several different ways to come to the conclusion and solve math problems.  This approach is not totally new, however, much more emphasis has been placed in giving students a variety of methods to complete their math.  If you need further demonstrations, you can access the Go Math website and view their demonstrations.}
