SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the method of division using c-strips, specifically illustrating how to create a train of divisor strips that does not exceed the length of the dividend. Participants emphasize that if the length of the train equals the dividend, there is no remainder. The conversation includes practical steps such as making diagrams with c-strips and formulating equations to express the division process. The approach is framed as a foundational method suitable for teaching division concepts in elementary education.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic division concepts
  • Familiarity with visual aids in mathematics, specifically c-strips
  • Knowledge of elementary mathematics teaching techniques
  • Ability to create and interpret mathematical diagrams
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the use of manipulatives in teaching division concepts
  • Research effective diagramming techniques for mathematical concepts
  • Learn about the pedagogical approaches in "Math for Elementary School Teachers" courses
  • Investigate the role of visual learning in mathematics education
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for elementary school teachers, mathematics educators, and anyone interested in effective teaching strategies for division and foundational math concepts.

Do the division using the c-strips to make a train of as many of the divisor as possible such that the length of the train you make is less than or equal to the length of the dividend, and if you were to add one more of the divisor to the train, it would be longer than the dividend.
If the train ends up being the same length as the dividend, there will be no remainder and the second blank will be empty.
a. Make a diagram using c-strips.
b. In terms of the strips $B+P=\boxed{?}$ reminder $\boxed{?}$ since $B=\cdot P+\boxed{?}$
c. In terms of the numbers $\boxed{?}/ \boxed{?}=\boxed{?}$ remainder $ \boxed{?} $ since $\boxed{?}=\boxed{?} \cdot \boxed{?}$

sorry I just think the way this was written was ? just a simple division problem with a remainder

Is this a "Math for Elementary School Teachers" class? It looks like the way one would introduce division in an elementary class. To demonstrate "6/2" one could take a strip of paper 6" long and 3 strips 2" and line the 2" strips along side the 6" strip.
