División de destino: modelo de área, cocientes parciales, algoritmo

This class is designed to teach three strategies commonly taught to support students' division skills. There are many ways to solve a division problem, and different students find different strategies to be most helpful. In this course, we will practice 3 common strategies: area model, partial quotients, and the algorithm. Students will solve problems with 1 digit divisors and up to 4-digit dividends over the two sessions of this class. 

I will demonstrate each strategy being used for one problem so we can compare the strategies to help students find the one that best suits them now. The ultimate goal of these strategies is to eventually become most comfortable with the algorithm, and the use of the other strategies helps students ultimately make sense of the algorithm.

A basic understanding of the multiplication table is preferred. If a student is not strong in his or her multiplication facts (0-9), I recommend having a multiplication chart nearby so the facts do not interfere with the student's learning of the strategies. If you do not have a multiplication chart, a quick internet search of "multiplication chart" will yield many results.
