February 5, Math labs

Today we worked on Division of decimals.  Principles to keep in mind-

1-Dividing decimals is similar to dividing fractions because decimals are a kind of fraction,

2-Never loose your decimal, and when dividing decimals,

3- Move the decimal in the divisor to the right and move the decimal in the dividend the same number of places, then move the decimal point straight up  (the frog and the dog are standing on opposite sides of the fence, when the frog jumps towards the dog, the dog jumps back)

Thank you Gavin, Colton and Levi for sharing the frog and dog analogy
