→Activity 2: Divisors of 1, 2, 3
====Activity 2: Divisors of 1, 2, 3====
Activity 2 displays a random number of objects evenly grouped in boxes and indicates how many objects there are. Next, the corresponding word sentence appears. The boxes then are counted, and the total moves to the answer position in the word sentence. The corresponding division number sentence appears below the word sentence. After displaying a random number of grouped objects, the drill uses divisors of 1, 2, and 3 and asks your child to complete the number sentence by determining the number of groups.
Activity 3: Divisors of 4, 5, 6
This activity displays a random number of objects and indicates how
many objects there are. Then the objects are evenly grouped. It is
similar to Activity 2 but extends the randomization to include division
problems using divisors 4, 5, and 6. The drill asks your child to
complete the division sentence by indicating the number of groups.
====Activity 4: Divide Using ⟌====
Divide Usingr- shows how the division sentence is rewritten in the
vertical format. Evenly grouped objects and the corresponding
horizontal division sentence appear on the display. The groups are
counted and that number moves into place, completing the sentence.
The numbers then move to form the vertical division format. The word
sentence representing both formats appears next. The drill in this
activity presents a series of problems in the vertical division format for your child to solve.
====Activity 5: Practice and Paint====
Practice and Paint lets your child creatively practice division facts for divisors 1 through 6. A painter's palette displays the numbers 1 through 9. A division problem appears in the center of the palette. Your child presses the '''SPACE BAR''' to move the cursor clockwise around the numbers on the palette. When the correct number is reached, he or she presses '''ENTER'''. Your child has two chances to find the correct answer and the computer keeps score by "painting" a square in the score box each time a correct answer is given.
====Activity 6: Divisors of 7, 8, 9====
This activity extends the concept of division by grouping objects to include divisors of 7, 8, and 9. A random number of objects appears on the display. As the objects are grouped and the groups are counted, the horizontal division problem appears, followed by the vertical division problem. A check is given by multiplying the divisor and quotient together. Your child solves the problems in the drill by determining the answer to the horizontal or vertical division problem. If a wrong answer is given, multiples of the divisor are displayed to help your child solve the problem.
