Modeling Division Situations

At school, students have been solving word problems that represent various types of division situations. Encourage your child to help you solve situations that come up in your daily activities. For example, while shopping you might ask, “If you can buy 2 pencils for 29 cents, about how many can you buy for $3.00?” or “I baked a batch of 136 muffins for the bake sale. I need to put them in bags of 5. How many bags can I fill with 5 muffins in each bag?”
