Episode 122 - Teaching Division with Remainders Even in The Early Years

Partitive division is typically the natural way that kids think about division and the way that most textbooks start teaching kids division.  However, it only gives kids a partial understanding of division.  Quotative division problems give kids a deeper understanding of division and help kids focus in on understanding the remainder in the problem.  Typically, we think division is only for 3rd grade and up, but division situations come up often for kids in their life and so they naturally experience division very early on.  No matter what grade level you teach, this episode will give you a better understanding of teaching division and teaching division with remainders.
