This week is a review of multi-digit multiplication and division (including long division). The connections I am trying to reinforce are the relationship between the fractions like 56/100 and the decimal 0.56. They remember multiplying decimals and counting how many decimals are in the multiplication side of the problem and applying that many decimal places to the left in the product. Division will be a review of moving any decimal in the divisor until it is a whole number, and moving the decimal in the dividend the same number to the right.
Therefore, the big idea for this unit is knowing multiplication and division facts. We will be reviewing the "how to's" of each concept, but it is simply a review.
