Have them see, by multiplication, that the cost of 8 books is $32. Have the learners agree that since we are in the ones' place, the "eight" means that each learner must try to buy eight books. Since four does not go into three, we must use the digit, 4, and the two digits, 35, and ask the question, "Four into thirty-five?" To estimate the maximum ones of books, we must use the digit in the divisor, 4, and the first digit, 3, in 35 and ask the question, "Four into three?" So the question is this: What are the maximum ones of books each learner can buy? Tell them that since they can buy one book each, perhaps they can buy 2, or 3, or 4, and so on, up to 9 books each. Now let us return to the digits 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.Įxplain to learners that in the ones' place, these digits represent zero, one, two, three, and so on, up to nine. The board work shows learners that after 60 books have been bought, $35 are left.Īsk, "Can you buy more books out of the remaining $35?"Įlicit from learners that they must now move over to the ones' place and ask, "Can I buy one book?" Since one book costs $4, they can. This is less than $275 so the maximum tens of books which can be bought is six (which means 60 books). Have them see, by multiplication, that the cost of 60 books is $240. Have learners understand that this "six" means that from among the choices of 10 through 90 books, they must see if they can buy 60 books. The answer to "four into twenty-seven" is six (4 into 270 is approximately 60). Tell learners that, in fact, we are really asking the question, "Four into two hundred seventy?" Since four does not "go into" two, we must use the digit in the divisor, 4, and the first two digits, 27, in the dividend, and ask the question, "Four into twenty-seven?" To estimate the maximum tens of books, we must use the digit in the divisor, 4, and the first digit, 2, in the dividend 275, and ask the question, "Four into two?" So the question is this: What are the maximum tens of books each learner can buy? Tell them that since they can buy 10 books each, perhaps they can buy 20, or 30, or 40, and so on, up to 90 books each. Now consider the digits: 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.Įxplain to learners that in the tens' place, these digits represent 0 tens, 1 ten, 2 tens, 3 tens, and so on, up to 9 tens. This is less than the amount of money ($275) available. Since each learner cannot buy 100 books, we move to the tens' place and ask, "Can I buy ten books?"Įlicit from learners that the cost of ten books is $40.
It also means each learner cannot buy any books in the hundreds' place. The little "x" above the two in the hundreds' place means that each learner buys "zero hundreds" of books, since one hundred books cost too much.
Insist that learners write 400 to the right of the division as it appears above. The board (and learners') work now looks like this: Hence no learner can buy one hundred books. This is more than the amount of money ($275) available. Now return to the first question: "Can I buy one hundred books?"Įlicit from the learners that the cost of one hundred books is $400. Have learners practice asking the above questions to the level of facility. Hundreds' place: "Can I buy one hundred books?".Insist that each learner pretends to be the principal, as the questions are being asked.
MUSIC MATH LEVEL 2 HOW TO
Tell learners that there is a question for each value in the dividend and they must know how to ask each one. Learners respond, "Ones, tens, hundreds." Have them name each place value in the dividend. Tell learners that the number under the line is called the dividend (have them say "dividend"), and the number on the left is called the divisor (have them say "divisor").
