 The kids are really enjoying the multiple strategies for multiplication and now division. I apologize to the parents, I know the unfamiliar and change can be hard. Our first thought is to teach the old fashion way, or our generation's way of solving. Please allow your child to show you a new strategy or two. Common core requires that students can illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/ or area models.
