Guest Bloggers!

One of my goals each year is to help the students become more independent and take ownership of their learning. I have decided to allow the students to respond to the day's essential question if they finish work early and update you about math workshop via their responses! (Spelling and grammar have not been changed. :-))

This week's essential question: How are multiplication and division related?

Jake M.: "They are related the both skip counte."

Conlon: "Division is multiplication backwards and multiplication is division backwards."

Wyatt: "Multiplication and division are related by they are both used as grouping and in groups."

Angelina: "Multiplication and division are related because when you do multiplication when you find the total to it you use it for division. Let's say Angie has 5 packs of yogurt 3 cups go in each. How many is altogether? 5X3=15 so it was division you would take the total 15*/*5=3. So you are just saying it backwards so thats how multiplication and division are related."
