Unit 4 Test

I returned the unit 4 test to my math students today. I encourage you and your student to go over the test together. I told the students that we'll continue to work on division since it is a gold standard that they'll need to master this year. The steps that we follow are: divide, multiply, subtract, check, bring down, and then start over again. (The acronym they know is "Does McDonalds sell cheese burgers.") Ask your student why we use this acronym . . . then watch them go through the steps. It does work quite well! Thanks for your help in your student's learning.
