Partial Quotients

We have been working on the partial quotients algorithm for division. Here is an example to the left. By putting our problems into context, the children are trying to visualize the division. The class enjoys coming up with scenarios, for example, one of today's was splitting 96 cats amongst 3 people. That's a lot of cats! Even out new friend, Tux, got in on the action.
