IMPORTANT NOTE: you may notice that strategies used in solving problems are not always classic algorithms. For example - you will notice use of partial products and quotients. Please make sure that these are strategies that your student is using. These strategies are prerequisites to algebraic learning in grade 5 and above. If helping your child, please do not replace these strategies with rote algorithms.
