Ep 178: Talking Math With Your Kids: Division With Decimals

We can be our own kids' best teachers, even when it comes to gnarly division problems. In this episode Pam and Kim relay their experiences exploring decimal division with their own kids. 
Talking Points:

• A tool for holding your thinking - a ratio table
• It's not about how much you can hold in your head
• Help them start with what they know
• Problem Strings are not about answering just the last problem
• It isn't about being able to solve every problem 
• It's about owning the major relationships in order to think like a mathematician
