Description

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.

The Build Math Minds podcast is for my fellow Recovering Traditionalists out there. If you don’t know whether or not you are a Recovering Traditionalist, here’s how I define us. We are math educators who used to teach math the traditional way. Flip lesson by lesson in the textbook, directly teaching step-by-step how to solve math problems. But now, we are working to change that to a style of teaching math that is fun and meets our students where they are at, not just teaching what comes next in the textbook. We want to encourage our students to be thinkers, problem solvers, and lovers of mathematics..we are wanting to build our students math minds and not just create calculators. If that is you, then this podcast is for you.
