#AREA MODELS FOR DIVISION SOFTWARE#
Students benefit from a visual example of the math concept using Base Ten manipulatives.ĭeveloped by an elementary teacher and designed by a software developer with years of experience in creating educational software, this innovative, educational app teaches the skills necessary to master multiplication and division. I'd rather have a "dumb" alive kid than a dead "smart" kid.Area Model - Multiplication and Division is an app designed to develop the skills elementary students need to understand and illustrate multiplication and division problems in adherence to the common core state standards. The kids in my home country are stressed out high suicide rate amongst teens because of too much academic pressure. I don't want that kind of math education here because it pushes kids too hard. I am from a "mathematically more advanced" country, too. PS born and raised in now non-existent country with strong math school. I couldn't MEMORIZE useless formula for 30+ years. Oh, and the fact that I still can solve word problems prove that fact. It is impossible to solve word problem without understanding WHY. NP here, just to chime in, I have no idea what area models are, next year maybe when kid is in 5th grade But you did NOT learn WHY you have to do it. You learned a FORMULA to solve these problems by turning the second fraction upside down, then multiply tops and then multiply bottoms.
No, you did not UNDERSTAND the division of fractions. I am wondering what that more mathematically-advanced educational system is, how you know that it's more mathematically-advanced, and how you know that you (collective you) understood division of fractions. Nobody said that area models were NECESSARY.īut actually your word problem doesn't fit 3/4 divided by 1/3 = 3/4 x 3 = 9/4. And we still understood division of fractions just fine - in 4th grade, not in 6th.
WE DIDN'T DO ANY OF THIS!!!! We did word problems, lots of them. I happen to be one of those foreigners who got my education in a far more mathematically-advanced educational system. You don't think it's important for your kid to understand how and why the math works? No wonder US adults suck at math in comparison to even not so developed countries. How many bags will you be able to fill, and what portion of nuts will remain?" Clearly, the purpose is to see how many times 1/3 fits into 3/4, just like with division of whole numbers. "You have a 3/4 pound bag of nuts and you are dividing it between 1/3 pound bags. What will probably not help with understanding of division of fractions: doing a whole lot of problems where the person merely applies the magic formula "to divide a fraction, invert the fraction and then multiply". Can you come up with a word problem that would require division of fractions? However, area models can help with understanding of division of fractions. You're right, you don't need to understand area models to understand division of fractions. What they do need is more practice doing divisions the regular way, but no. And you don't need to understand the stupid area model to understand division of fractions. And we killed half the weekend trying to get him to understand. My DD had it in 5th grade (compacted math class). Because he can visualize, by using area models, how it (multiplying and dividing whole numbers AND fractions) works logically.
