Description:

Math Mammoth Multiplication Division 3 covers multiplication and division related topics, such as the multiplication algorithm, long division, estimation, divisibility, factoring, and ratios. This book also contains many lessons that aim to develop students' algebraic thinking, and get them used to simple equations. The book is aimed for 5th grade but can probably easily be used in 6th grade as well. Students encounter the exact definition of an equation and an expression. They practice the order of operations with problems that also reinforce the idea of the equal sign (“=”) as denoting equality of the right and left sides of an equation. We study in detail: multiplying in parts (partial products), how those partial products can be seen in the algorithm itself, and how multi-digit multiplication can be visualized geometrically.
