IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Last week, we began to discuss division concepts during math workshop. While the students didn’t realize they were dividing, they eagerly engaged in experiences revolving around this operation. We talked about sharing fairly and equally among a group of people and what to do if you had anything left over that couldn’t be cut into pieces of a whole.

Today, we gave this process a name– division! The students were impressed with themselves because they thought this was much more complicated. As we continue to work in our journals this week, we are learning from strategies that our friends are using!

Ask your child to divide something between family members or between themselves and their siblings. They are very proud of their knowledge of the skill!
