Division: Booklet 1
Division: Booklet 1
Division: Booklet 1 – Basic Concepts from Pattern Press is a hands-on math curriculum resource designed to introduce division through visual models, manipulatives, pattern exploration, and conceptual understanding.
This booklet set includes a 45-page Parent/Teacher Guide and a 56-page Student Workbook that help students build a strong foundation in beginning division concepts through active learning and guided discovery. Rather than teaching division as a memorized procedure, students explore how division works through sharing, grouping, patterns, and mathematical relationships.
One of the featured activities, Monkeys on the Roof, introduces division in a playful and memorable way using manipulatives and concrete exploration. Students gradually move from hands-on experiences into recording division thinking with number sentences and written representations that make sense mathematically.
The Parent/Teacher Guide includes teaching instructions, sample dialogues, games, and the Answer Key. The Student Workbook includes worksheets and practice pages designed to reinforce understanding through visual and tactile learning.
