Hey students and parents, this is my first post of the new school year! Yikes! It’s October! I have taken on a new position as a 5th grade teacher. As exciting as it has been, it’s also a lot of work starting over. I have made a couple videos to help you out with this multiplication and division stuff. It’s not my best editing, but it’ll do the job for now. I lost the video for the algorithmic way of multiplication when I got a new phone this weekend so you’ll see the example but not the process. These other methods are a little more friendly anyway. In this first video, you will see 3 different ways to multiply large numbers.
In this second video you will see 2 different ways to divide, neither of which is the algorithmic process. I hope these help and I will try continue adding more as we go through the year.
