Today, both 5th grade classes became teachers. Students were paired with 4th graders and taught them to use different division strategies. We reflected on how many of the students felt as 4th graders learning this new topic and many were frustrated, stressed, and confused. However, this year division has become so much easier for us. We took our learning to the 4th grade classes and acted as teachers to teach long division and partial quotient division. Some "teachers in training" even went to the next level and taught their 4th grade student how to check their answer using multiplication or how to use mental math to make division easier. #proudmomma
