[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fcps doesnt teach long division like we learned it. My kid was doing all this writing in the margins and didn't understand "carrying down" the next digit, etc. I had no clue what DD was doing and, of course, there's no textbook so I have no clue how they're teaching the kids. So annoyed.[/quote] Maybe it's your school. My DD def learned to "carry down" the numbers. They did some estimating in the margins (to help with the larger number divisors). But, they def carried down the traditional way. She has no textbooks but they do worksheets and online math games. She is in 6th grade now so this was only a couple of years ago.[/quote] DP. DS was absent the one day that they taught normal long division so he still uses this strange method along the side. One day to teach long division? Really?[/quote]
