Ms. Vincent's class started learning about division with a yummy hands-on review! In 3rd grade, students learned that division is all about breaking something down in to smaller parts. During this activity, each student was given a different number of goldfish. Students counted their total number of goldfish (their whole, or dividend) and then divided it by a variety of numbers (a divisor). To finish the lesson, students wrote an equation to represent one of the division problems they did - explaining which number was the dividend, divisor, and quotient. After a student shared their equation with the class they were allowed to eat their goldfish! Yum!
