As you all know, mathematics is everywhere around us, even in our food! Today, we'll start our journey of long division with a delicious pizza.
Imagine having a pizza pie with 10 slices. You are sharing it with your four friends. How can you divide the pizza into five equal pieces?
Let's see if we can solve this problem together.
Inquiry-based learning is a teaching method that encourages students to open-ended questions and exploration. In this lesson, we will use an inquiry-based approach to explore long division further.
Long division is a way to find the answer to a division problem that would not work using mental math. It is a four-step process that involves dividing, multiplying, subtracting, and bringing down.
