Multiplying and Dividing Larger Numbers

This course is designed to teach scholars different methods of multiplying larger numbers. Scholars can then choose the method that best suits them. From here, we will learn to solve long division problems, first with one-digit divisors and then with two-digit divisors. My style is upbeat and encouraging. I create a class atmosphere in which scholars feel safe to make mistakes and try new things. The class atmosphere is positive, patient and encouraging.  I include games as often as possible to keep math fun for my students. I will include videos and activities in my google classroom for continuing practice at home, but homework is not required. Each week, I will review the previous lesson and continue to strengthen and build on skills.
