===Note to Parents===
The importance of creativity is frequently overlooked in the teaching of basic mathematical skills. The Division 1 Solid State Software<sup>TM</sup> Command Module combines creative computer graphics and instructional techniques in its presentation of the fundamentals of division. With this module, the staffs of Scott, Foresman and Company and the Texas Instruments Learning Center expand their mathematics series to help the learner progress from understanding basic division to having a working knowledge of division facts.
While the activities in "The Art of Division" are presented with the stroke of a paintbrush, your child develops skills that let him or her solve the pro bl ems with a stroke of a key. Lively music and rewards help make Division 1 an exciting program.
The Division 1 module contains nine activities.
* MEANING OF DIVISION demonstrates the concept of dividing a large group of objects into equal smaller groups.
* DIVISORS OF 1, 2, 3 shows division by the divisors 1, 2, and 3.
* DIVISORS OF 4, 5, 6 builds division skills to include the divisors 4, 5, and 6.
* DIVIDE USING J transforms a division problem written with the ÷ symbol to a problem using the J symbol.
* PRACTICE AND PAINT provides a review of the divisors 1 through 6.
* DIVISORS 7, 8, 9 completes the skill of dividing by a single-digit counting number.
* HOW MANY BOXES? introduces the concept of remainders by asking your child to group a specified number of objects evenly, leaving remainders.
* DIVIDE WITH A REMAINDER explains division when there is a remainder.
* MAKE A PICTURE provides a review of the divisors 1 through 9. Your child creates a picture by answering the problems correctly.
