Learn and practice multiplication and division, dividing fractions, or using algebra to solve complex word problems, students are building their math fluency and using deductive reasoning skills to problem solve. In VSA Math, our youngest students build foundational skills in early mathematical skills, including number and pattern recognition, geometry, measurement, and problem-solving skills. With our experienced PK–G2 teachers, students learn to love counting, adding, and seeing shapes in the world around them. With teacher modeling and guided and independent practice, each virtual class features a combination of on-screen learning and drawing and writing exercises.

4. Warm-up Discussion
12 ÷ 3 = 4
The dividend (12) is the number being that is being divided
into. This is total number of items.
The divisor (3) is the number that it is being divided by. This is
the number of groups that we want to split our items into.
The quotient (4) is the answer. This is the amount of items in
each group.

5. Thinking of Division as Sharing
We have 10 apples and we must share them equally between 2
children. How many apples will each be given?
Discuss:
1. What multiplication sentence should we write?
2. ______ is being shared among ______.

6. Thinking of Division as Sharing
10 ÷ 2 = 5
Quotient
Dividend Divisor
In this example, we shared our 10 total
apples with 2 groups. Once we split our
apples up, it turns out that each group
(child) gets 5 apples.

7. Thinking of Division as Grouping
Mr. Tom has 8 students in his online Zoom class. He
wants to split his students into 4 equal breakout
rooms. How many students will be in each room?
Discuss:
1. What multiplication sentence should we write?
2. ________ is being grouped into _________.

8. Thinking of Division as Grouping
8 ÷ 2 = 4

In this example, we grouped our 8 total students into 4
equal groups. Once we split our students up, it turns out
that each room has 2 students.

Multiplication is to add equal groups to find a total.
The answer is called the product.
Division starts with a total and breaks it up into equal groups.
The answer is called the quotient.

13. First, review the 4s multiplication table by filling out the skip
count table. Then, use it to solve the problems.
1. Write the multiplication sentence the column with “24”
shows.

15. When to Regroup with Addition
Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones
0 3 5 + 1 6
0 4 6 8
14
+
First, set up the numbers in a
place value chart.
Ones: 6 + 8:
Regrouping is needed because 6
+ 8 > 10
Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones
0 3 + 1 5 + 1 6
0 4 6 8
8 12 14
Next, add the tens column.
Regrouping is needed
because 4 + 6 ≥ 10
The sum of 10 tells us that we have 10 tens, or 1 hundred.
Therefore, we add 1 to the tens column while taking away 10 from
the ones.
+
Example: Find 356 + 468
Think of 0 when
there is no digit
in a place.

18. Place Value and Periods
Place value is the value of a digit, or how much a certain
digit of a number is width.
This value is based on the digit’s position.
The digits in large numbers are arranged in groups of
three called periods.
Commas are used to separate these periods.
Thousands Period Ones Period
260, 111
One hundred
Thousands
Ten

Hundreds Tens Ones
2 6 0 1 1 1
Value 200,000 60,000 0 100 10 1

19. Comparing Large Numbers
• When we compare large numbers, we only need to
compare corresponding digits.
• We start comparing from the leftmost common digit.
• The moment one number has a digit greater than a digit
in the same spot of another, that number is larger!
23,643
23,987
2 = 2
The first two digits we compare are equal. However,
23,987 has a greater hundreds digit than 23,643. We do
not need to check the remaining digits. 23,987 > 23,643
Ten Thousands Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones
2 3 6 4 3
2 3 9 8 7
3 = 3 9 > 6

20. Shape Pattern
• Can consist of one shape
• Can have many shapes
• Repeating patterns can be color patterns
• The same color sequence repeats itself.

21. Grade 5

22. Use the place-value chart to compare the following
decimals to 0.59. Find the decimals that are less than 0.59.
Circle the letter of all that apply.
A 0.07
B 0.4
C 0.6
D 0.55
Compare Decimals
Ones . Tenths Hundredths < 0.59
0 . 5 9
A .
B .
C .
D .

23. Compare Decimals as Mixed Numbers
Package A weighs 1.401 kilograms. Package B weighs 1.29 kilograms. Write
an inequality statement comparing the weights of the packages.
Express the weights as mixed numbers with like denominators. Then
compare.
1.401 = 1

'&&&
1.29 = 1

So, 1.401 > 1.29. The weight of Package A is greater than the
weight of Package B.

24. How to Find Prime Numbers
Step 1: Check the units place of that number. If it ends with 0, 2, 4, 6 and
8, it is not a prime number.
Note: “Numbers ending with 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 are never prime
numbers.”
Step 2: Take the sum of the digits of that number. If the sum is divisible
by 3, the number is not a prime number.
Note: “Numbers whose sum of digits are divisible by 3 are never
prime numbers.”
Step 3: After confirming the falsity of steps 1 and 2, find the square root
of the given number.
Step 4: Divide the given number by all the prime numbers below its
square root value.
Step 5: If the number is divisible by any of the prime numbers less than
its square root, it is not a prime number; otherwise, it is prime.

25. How to Quickly Find Prime Numbers up to 100
Step 1: Write all the numbers from 1
to 100 with 6 numbers in a row.
Step 2: As the square root of 100 is
±10, the multiples of numbers till 10
has to be crossed out.
Step 3: Choose 2 and the multiple of
2 (4, 6) and cross the entire column.
Step 4: Move to 3 and cross out the
entire column.
Step 5: Take 5 and the multiple of 5
and cross out the diagonally towards
left. All the multiples of 5 are crossed
out.
Step 6: Choose 7 and the numbers
divisible by 7 and cross out
diagonally towards the right. leaves
no multiples of 7 on the list.
