Monday! I love Mondays!<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, this Monday I have a meeting I have to go to, so this will be very quick. \u00a0My apologies!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In math we are working on the idea that when we are multiplying by fractions, we are actually doing quite a bit of dividing. \u00a0This is because fractions themselves are all about dividing. \u00a0Something like 1\/3 x 9 asks us to take 1\/3 of 9. \u00a0This means we have to DIVIDE 9 into 3 equal parts, and take one of them.<\/p>\n
We are using this understanding to help us realize that multiplication and division are the inverse of each other, and we can really change any division problem into a multiplication problem, and any multiplication problem into a division problem.<\/p>\n
Tonight students have 3 division….or was it multiplication? problems to do. \u00a0They should write out how each of these problems could be a division problem OR it could be a multiplication problem, and solve. \u00a0As always we have some examples!<\/p>\n
