Observation of Eireyna's 4-5pm lesson

Hi all, unfortunately I had a <24 hour cancellation and had the opportunity to observe Eireyna tutor her year 4 student William. Today's lesson was centred around the topic of long division. Eireyna began the lesson explaining what division is (the opposite of multiplying two numbers together), the different forms of long division (both in fraction form and in 'sentence' form), and how to set up and complete the division using the long division method.
After William understood the usefulness and purpose of division, Eireyna went on to explain how long division works. She taught that you need to count how many times a number will go into the first digit being divided (i.e. how many times 2 goes into 5). The highest multiple of the divisor that was found would be subtracted from the number being divided and if there is a remainder, the remainder will be carried over to be divided by the following number by bringing that number down.
After explaining it and going over a few examples, she had William try to work a few out with her support. For where he made errors, she helped identify the error and showed him the correct method of how to complete the question. Overall it was a great lesson to observe. Well done Eireyna.
