| Bonus |
Bonus Opportunity : Instead of doing rewrites on HW 8, this is a bonus opportunity for
anyone who feels they want more long division review, regardless of your homework score.
- Read Candy Factory Long Division Article
- Type a one page reflection on the article. Start by answering the questions on the bottom of
page 24 and the top of page 25. Then go on to write comments, opinions, questions, and/or an article summary.
- In the Candy Factory context, one roll is 10 candies, one box is 10 rolls, and one case is 10 boxes. If we switch to 8 candies per roll,
8 rolls per box, and 8 boxes per case, we would be in base 8. Explain how to do long division in base 8 using the sharing model highlighted by
the article. Use the examples of 4 boxes, 3 rolls, and 2 candies split evenly between 6 customers and
1 case, 5 boxes, 6 rolls, and 7 candies split evenly between 5 customers. These explanations should include lots of words (including language
about "unpacking" or "regrouping" of boxes/rolls, etc.) I would be surprised if your work was less than a full page. Your work should be typed.
| This can be turned in on the 1st or the 3rd

| HW 11 |
HW 11:
- Read WB 2.1. Read thru problems 1-3, then DO problems 4-7.
