Sure, we learned how to brew tea in fourth grade this year, but tea alone isn't much good when it's time to make dinner. So, this week the fourth-graders are writing an essay about a situation in which they are given the responsibility to make dinner when they get home from school one day. To make it somewhat easier, one part of the meal must come from a can. We'll see what they come up with in terms of food groups and inventiveness.
We repeat-long division. Now that the fourth-graders are quite good at double digit multiplication, long division and changing fractions into decimals come next. Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down.....repeat. One is reminded of hair-washing and shampoo instructions.
