[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP instead of making her draw it all out, I'd teach it to my kid as a subtraction problem. Take your 100 candies and give 1 to each kid, that's minus 25. How many left? Repeat until you can't go any further. Then talk to her about how that means 25 "goes into" 100 4 times or 100 divided by 25 is 4.[/quote] Repeated subtraction is also a tool the kids learn. The problem with what you are advising is that the child needs to show the teacher she has learned all the techniques. She doesn't have to keep using all the techniques, but you have to learn them all. If the teacher is looking for 100 circles grouped in a certain way, your method would be a problem. They are not just teaching the answer, but also various strategies.[/quote]
