- Assign Home Practice Parts 1 and 2. In Part 2, students make fractions using the clues provided in each problem.
- Assign DPP items A–B. In Task B, students solve a number puzzle with clues that use the terms factor, multiple, and prime.
Math Facts. Bit A provides self-assessment and practice with all the division facts.
In Home Practice Part 1, students make lists of facts they still need to learn and practice these facts at home with a family member using their Triangle Flash Cards.
DPP item A can be used as a self-assessment tool for students' fluency with the division facts. Use the results of this item to work with students to devise a plan for learning the facts they still need to study. Ask them to complete the following:
- Make a list of the problems they answered incorrectly or did not answer quickly. These are the facts they still need to study.
- Write all the number sentences in the fact family for each fact on their list.
- If they need to learn more than 3 or 4 facts, help them divide their list into smaller groups based on strategies for learning the facts.
- Ask students to organize their Triangle Flash Cards for these facts into the strategy groups and to practice one group at a time until they become confident with each group.
- Or have students make new Triangle Flash Cards using the Blank Triangle Flash Cards page in the Teacher Guide.
- Have students play games that practice the facts.
- Make calculators and multiplication charts available for students to use as they participate in activities and laboratory investigations, so they are not prevented from learning new concepts and skills.
