Master Math: 4th Grade Math - Long Division for Beginners

In this course, students will learn about and practice long division for the first time using fun and engaging lessons, activities and games. This class is a 3rd/4th grade level class. 

At the beginning of class, the students and teacher will have a discussion about the topic(s) of the week so the teacher can assess the students’ prior knowledge of the subject. 

Throughout the class, the teacher will introduce and teach the topic(s) using the “I Do, We Do, You Do” method. This instructional method starts with the teacher giving an example, followed by the teacher and student solving a problem or completing a task together, then finally, the student is given a problem or task to complete on his/her own, with support given as necessary. All classes will include instruction, practice, and application problems (word problems). Homework and review material can be provided upon request.

The schedule for this course will be as follows:
Day 1 - What is long division? - Introduction to the division bar, division vocabulary (dividend, divisor, quotient), how to long divide (divide, multiply, subtract, bring down), practice with 2-digit dividends
Day 2 - Divide 2-digit by 1-digit numbers
Day 3 -  Divide 3-digit by 1-digit numbers
Day 4 - Word Problems 


Throughout the entire class, many discussion questions will be asked in order to promote critical thinking, help the students to relate to the lesson, and introduce each topic within the lesson.

This class is best for any student ages 8 to 12, or those students looking to learn and practice long division for the first time or at a beginner's level. Students do not need to know the concepts or topics of the class beforehand. We will learn and review in class.
